Dimwit thief uploads picture of himself to Flickr

An idiot thief stole a number of computers from an office in Vancouver, B.C. One of those was an iMac with Flickrbooth installed. This is a plug-in for Apple's Photo Booth that automatically uploads photo booth shots to a Flickr account. Well, apparently the dimwit managed to get photos of himself uploaded to the company's Flickr stream.

That's his picture above (click to enlarge and get the full tattoo effect), and you can view the Flickr picture and comments here.

Boing Boing has a message from a member of the company, Dane Brown:

Last week a number of computers were stolen from our office in Vancouver, BC. One of those computers was a shared iMac with Flickrbooth, an app that automatically uploads photo booth shots to our flickr account, installed on it. Just this morning a friend called to tell us that there are photos of whoever has the computer now in our flickr stream! Obviously the guy didn't know he was uploading images of himself and his awesome tattoos.

As I've always said, thieves aren't generally the brightest people in the world!
