Flight attendant arrested after app finds lost iPad
Tags:
A US airline passenger who lost his iPad on board used a special app to find it, in the home of one of the flight attendants, police said.
The attendant, identified as 43-year-old Horizon Air employee Wendy Ronelle Dye, was arrested late on Friday, said Bill Kler, spokesman for the Oregon City Police Department near the western state of Oregon's most populous city Portland.
The passenger was a Nevada man who used the Find My iPad app to locate his tablet after it went missing on the plane, Kler told AFP.
Dye told police that travelers on the aircraft said they found the tablet on a seat and gave it to her, and she had planned to turn it over to the airline eventually and had not used it, Kler said.
But police found personal information of hers on it, including her husband's birthday, said the spokesman.

Here’s a great idea for protecting your phone, tablet, laptop and even your camera, keys, luggage and passport while traveling. Two years ago, I found MYSTUFFLOSTANDFOUND and obtained tracker tags for OKOBAN, a free global lost and found service. I placed tracker tags on all of my valuables.
It paid off in Rome. I left my passport at a cafe at lunch. That afternoon, I received a text message from Okoban saying that my passport was reported found. I did not know it was even missing. The café reported the found passport’s tracker number online and I was immediately notified (text and email).
I called the number in the text message which also listed the location for retrieval. My Okoban tag from MYSTUFFLOSTANDFOUND on my passport saved my trip. The finder had a way to find me.
