My wife had hers stolen right about the time one of her clients was busily dodging paparazzi that wanted shots of her "baby bump." Yes, she did have that client's private contact info in her phone. No, she didn't have a PIN either.

On the bright side, you don't have to call someone on the cover of People Magazine to tell her she needs to change her email address and phone number.

Yikes. The thumbprint is one of my favorite things about the iPhone 6.

Whoever 'found' her phone turned it off, or at least turned off the cellular. I hope it was the former, as I have it set to alert me and lock once it does connect.

The thumbprint is one of my least favorite things about iPhones. Names? You can change those. SSNs? With a little effort. Fingerprints?

Somehow I'm reluctant to give my indelible biometric data to the company responsible for The Fappening.

So my wife doesn't know it yet, but on 'find my iPhone' her phone just popped up at my mother-in-law's house across town. My mother-in-law was babysitting at our house today.

Somehow my wife convinced herself that she lost the phone at the park, and somehow it was turned off and got to my mother-in-law's house.

Oh, and the grill was left on.

My daughter said: "Momma cooked vegetables at lunch".

Beats mine. My wife dropped it on the sidewalk by accident and in two minutes it was gone. Exchanged texts with the guy; even sent him a photo of me holding two Benjamins and offered an exchange. Got him as far as the Airport before he chickened out.

Fucking LA.

The best part is if you have the phone, there are probably thumbprints on it and copying them is quicker than brute-forcing a password.

I figure I am already screwed in that regard. It's the pure ease of it that I enjoy.
