practicalist.com — "My cell phone was stolen last Friday. I had it disconnected and arranged to get a replacement. It had been set up with the excellent service from ShoZu to automatically upload all pictures taken with the phone to Flickr. So today, completely surprisingly, I find pictures on my Flickr account of the family of the person who took the phone."

There is no different photos here. But I do think this post is funny and posibly fake. And I don't think the starter is a racist. I think they are just having a good time. LOL

Just for the record, this is not a viral campaign by ShoZu. The ShoZu app would have uploaded all new images on the phone, whether taken by the camera or downloaded from the web. This explains the stock photos of the car (it also explains why they are much smaller than the other photos taken with the phone camera).And you can't blame the victim for posting photos of the kids - these were posted by the thief.Andy Tiller, CTO ShoZu

The theory is that the thief put in his own SIM card. Unless the network changed, ShoZu would just carry on uploading new photos. You can try this for yourself.Good advertising for ShoZu, I'll admit, but it wasn't planned and it's not fake.
