Missing iPad sends owner photos of its 'new owner'

A traveller, Allen Engstrom says he lost his iPad on a plane from Phoenix to Denver.
Engstrom said: "I realized it pretty quick, but by then it was too late and I just kind of wrote it off,"
About a month later, Engstrom said his wife and son were at the doctor's office when his son held up his iPod and said, "Mommy, what's this?"
It was a picture of a woman on his iPod.
"We finally figured out that must be the new owner of my iPad," Engstrom said.
Engstrom says the woman is taking "selfies" -- or self portraits -- with the iPad.
She probably has no idea that her pictures are backing up to my iPhone, Engstrom said.
So far, he's received more than a dozen photos.
Engstrom has posted some of the photos on Facebook.
On one of the photos he wrote: "The wonderful person who snaked my iPad continues to take glamour shots of herself apparently unaware that they are backing up to my iPhone. So naturally I'm blasting them out to the entire world. Enjoy!"
Engstrom, who lives in Little Rock, claims that the tracking settings like "Find my iPad" and "Photo locator" are turned off, so he can't find the woman.
"All I have is her image and the power of social media to help me get my iPad back," Engstrom said.
