Stolen iPhone’s Journey Seen Through the Eyes of a Getaway Car

We’ve told you plenty of interesting stories that involve thievery and the iPhone. This one is no exception.
Sue Huang’s iPhone was taken, and she finally got it back five days later after the thief ransomed it back to her. Thanks to the iPhone’s GPS, Sue and her friend Brian were able to recreate where her iPhone had been during the five days that the thief drove around with the device in his car.
They stitched together a video of the stolen iPhone’s Google Street View location as it moved throughout the city of LA during a period of five days…
Thanks to Google Maps and OpenPaths, Brian was able to put together a pretty interesting look at where Sue’s iPhone had been.
Brian explains how they put together the video through the lens of what could be considered a getaway car
You know what they say: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
