German tourist takes blog revenge on the man who stole her smartphone

After returning home to Germany, the young woman discovered that photographs of the robber and his home city Dubai were automatically uploaded to her "Dropbox" file storage space from her stolen HTC smartphone.

"Everything was gone. Money, purses, smartphones, passports, birthday presents and clothes (besides his underpants). This must have happened in the time span of 15 minutes. Well, that sucked quite hard," the unnamed woman wrote of the robbery on her blog.

"Back in Germany, a few days after Christmas, four months after the Ibiza trip, I turned on my computer and noticed 15 new pictures inside my Dropbox camera upload folder. Long story short: the thief of my smartphone didnﾒt delete my Dropbox app, not to mention my login data. Every photo he takes appears instantly on my computer, what a douche."

The woman decided to launch a revenge blog, called "life of a stranger who stole my phone", after the robber used her phone to log in to Facebook account in order to chat her up, leaving his name, Hafid and his contact details.

"What really made me wonder about his stupidity, was when I found out that he entered my Facebook account AND sent me a personal message from his own account to hit on me," she wrote. "That's why I know his name is Hafid."

"Hafid" also used her phone's automatic log-in details to call up her friends on her Skype account, conversations that are recorded and published on the blog.

"I Hafid, from United Emirates," he told one of her friends. "How did you call me," replied the woman. "Wha, what. Aaah. I want eh know you," he said.

The blog, described as "one of the funniest acts of revenge in the internet age" by Germany Bild newspaper, publishes Hafidﾒs pictures with mocking commentary about him and his friends.

One photograph of he and friends partying is captioned: "Celebrate good crimes, come on!".

Another shows the robber posing, with the words, "Who's gotcha phone? I Hafid".
