K goes on a Disney cruise.

Somebody on staff on the cruise line steals K's phone.

And takes pictures.

The iPhone automatically posts pictures on K's Facebook account.

(There is a rather heavy irony in the fact that, in order to get these somewhat 
delicious "turn the tables on the thief" situations, you have to join Facebook or 
some other similarly dangerous soc med site, and set a smartphone app to 
automatically post your pictures there ... which carries privacy dangers ...)

It's also amusing that one of the pics probably identifies one of the ship's officers 
...)
