This man stole over 100 phones at Coachella, but forgot one crucial thing
I guess he forgot about the 'Find My Phone App'.
Irony can be a cruel taskmaster... one thief found this out the hard way after being caught red-handed with over 100 stolen mobile phones at Coachella.
The man allegedly behind the crimes has been named by local news sources as New York native Reinaldo De Jesus Henao.
Several festival-goers noticed that their phones were missing and activated their 'Find My iPhone' feature, which provides users with the GPS location of their phones.
Police then followed Henao through the venue and detained him. According to abc7 news, officers said they found a backpack with more than 100 phones in his possession.

Some have hailed the man a hero, for saving our timelines from thousands of FOMO snaps.
Imagine buying a ticket to Coachella, in the hot dusty goddamn desert & dealing w/ dingdongs for 100 iPhones. Dude needs a better grift.
