Eye-Fi Thieves Capture Themselves! So Funny!
I’ve raved before over how cool the Eye-Fi memory card is, and that everybody should have one. Well, I’m saying it again, and here’s one more reason why: if a thief steals your camera and uses it, your Eye-Fi card will send all his pictures to YOUR computer! And you can BAG THE JERK!
According to Reuter’s, Alison DeLauzon accidentally left her camera in a restaurant while on vacation, and when she went back for it, it was gone. She was very upset, for not only had she lost her camera, she had also lost tons of pictures and videos of her baby son.
But later, back home, Alison “. . . opened up the Eye-Fi manager on the computer and, lo and behold, there are the guys that stole our cameras. Not only is it the guy who stole our camera. . . but the guy took a picture of (his accomplice) holding our other camera.”
My husband was apparently not the only spouse to get an Eye-Fi card last Christmas! That’s when Alison got hers, too, and thanks to that magical card, she got her cameras back.
The thieves who were busily snapping pictures with their ill-gotten gains did not realize that when they walked by an unsecured network, the Eye-Fi automatically sent ALL of the photos to its registered manager on Alison’s home computer; in other words, each picture they took was immediately uploaded right smack onto her computer. Just as the Reuter’s article said, “. . . her camera “phoned home.” Just like E.T.!
Alison didn’t press charges again the restaurant employees who stole her camera - THAT’S where she and I would differ! - but yes, they were fired.
“When we finally got it back, my husband and I spent the night just sitting and watching the videos - stupid videos, like him feeding himself for the first time or him pulling himself up in his crib for the first time. We sat down one night and just relished it.”
I can’t say enough good things about the Eye-Fi memory card. We love ours, and Alison loves hers, and you’ll love YOURS when you get it. They’re about a hundred bucks and worth every penny. Ask Alison DeLauzon!
