A user recounts how their stolen iPhone automatically captured a front-camera photo of the thief while the phone was being charged, then sent the picture along with precise location to the owner's email.
The notable part: this isn't a third-party app, but a feature built into iOS itself, useful for evidence and tracking in theft scenarios.
