In a bait-and-hook situation set up by the folks at ABC News; they were able to track a stolen iPad to the home of a TSA officer. The production team set out 10 iPads in airports known to have thefts, and nine of the tablets were eventually reported as lost.
It gets worse. The TSA officer blamed the situation on his wife:
After waiting 15 days, ABC News went to the home and asked Ramirez to return the iPad.
The employee was terminated—and this is another situation of how turning on “Find my iPad” just might save you from losing a tablet.
His explanation for the missing iPad in his home was that his wife had taken it from the airport.
