(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

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
