Phone Thief Unwittingly Gives Previous Owner a Photo Tour of His Life

Phone Thief Unwittingly Gives Previous Owner a Photo Tour of His Life

• DL Cade · Aug 08, 2013

 

This is Hafid. About 4 months ago, Hafid stole a phone from a German tourist who was vacationing on the island of Ibiza, Spain. Hafid didn’t, however, delete the original owner’s Dropbox app or disable the automatic upload feature.
So ever since the phone was stolen, she has received periodic updates about Hafid’s life in Dubai, which she has kindly uploaded to a Tumblr blog, complete with humorous commentary.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a thief caught on camera. You might remember the camera that was shooting a time-lapse and captured its own theft in progress. This is, however, the first time we’ve heard of a previous owner using the photos to provide the Internet with a continuous source of entertainment.
Here’s the description from the top of the Life of a Stranger Who Stole My Phone blog, which now enjoys a readership in the tens of thousands:

This is the inspiring story of Hafid from Dubai, the douchebag who stole my phone. He forgot to switch off the camera upload function, that’s why we will enjoy a deep insight into his life. Start on the first page.

The owner started the blog last month, and so far has uploaded everything from photos, to GIFs, to videos of Hafid going about his daily life. Here are just a few of the photos Hafid has taken thus far:





It doesn’t look like the owner will be getting her phone back anytime soon (if ever), but in lieu of legal action, this is the best approach she could come up with. Besides, given enough press, Hafid might eventually see his own face pop up on a website he frequents. We just hope he’s taking a selfie when it happens … something tells us his would be a pretty priceless reaction.

That's just bad argumentation. Because Presbyterians and Lutherans define SS differently. SS is false. Because Catholics and Orthodox define the RP differently, the RP is false. Because Catholics and Orthodox define the infallibility of the Church differently, the infallibility of the Church is false. etc. etc. What is good for one, is good for the other. Sorry,but I don't have to think anything, SS is false. From a historical perspective, it is false. I can go and and on. If SS is not false,strange how not one ECF has ever defended it as a sound principle,doctrine,method. What is good for one, is good for the other is a mere cop-out. Relativism will not cut it. Sorry. SS advocates are just trying to place SS at the same level with the Real Presence and trying to justify it.

only one correct religion with the truth? I really don't think it's morally right for any one religion to say they are the only true religion and that everyone else is wrong. If any one religion claims to be the only truth, then they must surely be a lie? What do you think?

On the surface, it seems to me one would be a fool if they didn't think the religious faith they are a part of was true. That doesn't mean, however, that I have a say regarding others at the second coming of Christ. I believe Lutheranism is a true reflection of the catholic faith, and I believe that whatever flaws or errors other Christian groups have are the purview of grace. And if those others are under God's grace, who am I to pronounce condemnation. Jon __________________ Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and as# are feeding?

So, why do you think there can't be one true religion?

Re: only one correct religion with the truth? As i have been LDS from the beginning of my life and just realizing the last several months that my faith is just yet another line of those 30k plus denominations, it is a wonder to me why there must be so many, to me these sects may preach of Christ and perhaps teach sound moral doctrine but in the end i have found that the Roman Catholic Church is the original church that Jesus himself founded. Its principles to me are sound and great in many ways. These other faiths sadly have not motivated me, but now the Catholic Church has. I realize we may all have differing opinions but the RCC is the church for my time as the most correct and to me, Christ centered faith.

Re: only one correct religion with the truth? Quote: Originally Posted by Kliska Is your POV pointed at Christianity or a specific church or denomination? As a child, I was forced to believe that the Pentecostal church was the only true religion. When I drove the city bus in Houston, Texas, the Jehovah witness would tell me everyday that Jesus and God are two different people and that everyone else is wrong. When I worked for a pest control company that belong to Mormon, they gave me flyers that said Joseph Smith had the only right and correct church and that all other religions was apart of a apostasy. When I went to war in Iraq, the Muslims believed that the Christians are equal to them but there teachings of Jesus Christ was not correct. is it right to say you are the only true church and that everyone else is wrong?

If a Pentecostal preacher or Jehovah Witness tells you that, there church is the truth everyone else is wrong. What do we say? I just don't feel like it's right for any person to teach in such way.

Re: only one correct religion with the truth? I believe everyone believes that their church is the true church. I didn't know the history of the Catholic church until I had a spiritual encounter with Christ and I looked at my church quite objectively. I found so many answers from my analytical mind, let alone my spiritual mind. I realize this is the Church that was founded by Jesus Christ and the Apostles and the more I learned about it, the more it validated my beliefs that I was in the right place. One thing I knew all along was that every time I took of the Eucharist I was being spiritually nourished by Jesus Himself. I may not have kept my faith so long had I not known that one thing, and that's something that other churches don't believe in. I believe God has set his plan in the Catholic church. It holds the truth, though other religions have pieces of the truth, the Church holds the fullness of the truth and I would look to it for answers. It has 2,000 years of history to figure the answers out and I trust in it because Jesus trusted in it.

What do we say? I just don't feel like it's right for any person to teach in such way. Because it ~isn't~ right for anyone to teach that way. You Learn by Example. People keep thinking that you have to ~teach~ people the Truth, when the ~only~ way you can, is by your own good example. I could care less what "religion" you are. What "religion" do you think "God Is"? I scare those Jehovah's away somethin fierce and quick ;-)

Technically all religions (CAREFUL!) has some truth, but only ONE religion has ALL Truth. God is One, just check that video, THEREFORE the Truth must be ONE. Christianity says that Jesus is God. Islam says that Jesus is NOT God. Only one is right. The Original Christian Bible has 73 books. Many later Christian bibles have 66 books. Only one is complete. Mormons say God is a man who BECAME a god. Christianity says that God is the Eternal Divine Creator. Makes sense that only one of these is accurate, right?

Here we go again with the word "only"... Jesus, alone, by his own self, is not God the Father, Nor is he the Holy Spirit... He is One of 3, Whole, and Complete within their own selves. They don't need us, they only want to Share Their life, with Us.
