In the past surveyOne in ten people was smolter theftFor when the smartphone was stolenUltra small tracking tag "MAMORIO"Are also being developed. Anthony van der Meer who lives in the Netherlands also said that one person who was in the theft of the iPhone, "what kind of person is stealing the smartphone and what about the smartphone that was eventually stolen?", "To the thief deliberately Investigate by the method that stolen smart phone and pursue it. " At first, although I felt like "I want to punish the thief", I gradually change my mind while tracking audio data and text interactions in my thief's life, current position, pictures and so on. Such a state is made public on YouTube as a short movie, and it is calling for more than 2 million playbacks in 1 week after release.

Short Film: Find my Phone - Subtitled - YouTube


In the Netherlands, theft of as many as 300 smartphones have been reported weekly. Anthony van der Meer was also one of those who was injured in theft, and when he was stolen smartphone was not bothered.


"What if I can see pictures on thieves?"


A movie or ......


contact information


Mail etc. I could not worry about my information leaked to others.


There are various things in the form of theft. Some people steal in front of us so that they do not notice them ... ...


Some people forcibly take away their luggage. From the question "What kind of thieves are thieves and what will ultimately be the smartphone?", Van der Meer decided to do some experiment. That means "to steal Smartphones on purpose, remotely control smartphones and reveal culprits by photographs and recordings".


Van der Meer firstly looks for another app that can track a smartphone, because Apple's official app "Search for iPhone" will be unusable once the terminal's SIM card is pulled out and reset.


As a result of thinking, I decide to use Android for my smartphone to use as "trap". Android's memory is divided into two parts, "system" and "user part", so even if the terminal is reset, it is only the user part that is actually reset, and the part of the system will continue to be maintained . The system part is reset only when the OS is uploaded or another OS is installed.


Then, "Cerberus anti-theftInstalling an application called " Installing Cerberus on the system part of Android terminal makes it impossible to delete the application. While the Internet connection is on, users can remotely operate the terminal on which Cerberus is installed, and can do various things such as photography, recording, recording, and calling.


That's why I started off by saying "steal smartphone on purpose".


Place the smartphone that you put in the bag intentionally in a place where there are many passengers in a state that it is easy to steal, and keep it away from the body.


A pair of men looking at the bags will appear, but they will not be able to steal.


A woman is talking about something about his bag to van der Meer. It may be saying "It is dangerous to put bags unprotected in such places".


Another man is also talking.


Another male pair of two people gets closer to the bag ... ...


I will not steal anything.


In addition, another man approaches the bag ......


Nothing was taken and van der Meer who got on got a curse as "fucking".


Members and others moved to Amsterdam, the capital city, as smartphones were not stolen any more even after four days of testing in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In Amsterdam there are 17 smartphone theft reports reported weekly.


However, even if I spend the whole day at a place where tourists who are prone to theft are gathered, there was no sign of the smartphone being stolen at all.


However, turning the camera off "Hoping is all torn down" and waiting for the returning metro will finally steal the smartphone. "It is the first time that something was stolen like this so much," van der Meer says.


"It is exactly right now, smartphone was stolen" van der Meer who seems to be happy.


The thief is moving while the smartphone is connected to the Internet without turning off the power of the smartphone. Therefore, the current location of the thief is shown on the tablet perfectly on the map.


Taking pictures with a stolen smartphone ......


darkness. Apparently it seems to be in your pocket.


I tried to record ......


It seems to be on a tram, and the voice and noise of the in-car broadcast were caught.


However, it seems that the smartphone was turned off on the way. The connection has expired.


The next day, van der Meer goes to deliver smartphone theft to the police.


A picture of the situation while filling in the document is also taken. The police are told to visit the lost property storage place, but it says, "It may be broken down and sold to Eastern Europe".


The smartphone which was powered off once was not able to turn on the power for the next 4 days, and van der Meer said, "Did you think something was wrong or was it really disassembled?" It is attacked.


However, on the evening of the fourth day after being stolen, there was movement at last.


I got a message saying "A new SIM card has been inserted" under van der Meer. Since the Arabic script is used for the new SIM card, is the thief not Arabic? It is inferred.


The application is also working, and the connection to the smartphone stolen from van der Meer's PC is also completed.


When I looked at the list of applications ......


The one where van der Meer was installed was kept as it was without being deleted. "Is thief a stupid thing? Is optimism or is it the first stealing?" Van der Meer.


Next time, I will check the history of where thieves were moving when offline.


Then, from the station of Amsterdam to the eastern part of FranceMulhouse, In the southeastern part of the NetherlandsMaastrichtIt turned out that the smartphone was switched to Arabic on its way.


We also use net translation to clarify to which address of Maastricht we went to concretely.


And it seems that I switched on the smartphone after returning to Amsterdam again.


My home is also specific. I took a picture ......


I was able to shoot the face of a thief perfectly. The criminal is an appearance that is seen as a foreigner, and the age is 40 to 45 years old.


In order to know about the criminal, van der Meer made several photographs and recordings on several days for several days.


Movie shooting was sometimes stopped because the data became large.


And as I examined the position record while the smartphone was not turned on ... ...


In Mulhouse, France it turns out that the thief was visiting a humanitarian facility.


"What was he doing at Mulhouse in the past? Were you collecting something, or was the smartphone handed over to someone else in the middle?" The mystery will deepen.


For a while since being stolen, it is said that the photo data photographed by van der Meer remained on the smartphone, but they will be deleted in about two weeks. However, the criminal said that he never took pictures or movies by himself.


Also, van der Meer notices that the criminal frequently calls a specific phone number.


I checked that the phone was a number to enjoy pornography.


Even a few days later, the criminal seemed to think that van der Meer 's smartphone was his own, and adds contact information and contact information of his contacts and acquaintances.


One of the added contacts is a female "Russian"


The criminal seems to have favor with Mr. Russia, and it turns out from the text exchange that it is giving a gift for her birthday. After a couple of days' interaction, the two will get to where they actually meet.


Voice of Mr. Russia at that time was a bit strange, as van der Meer says, although the sound actually actually being seen by the two people is also recorded.


Mr. Russia thinks that he is being exploited by his employer, telling it to human rights organizations, Russian television stations, the mayor etc., and damages of 1 million euros (about 120 million yen) We are asking for what you are asking for. After talking for about a few hours, the two will part with "tomorrow" again.


After that, the culprit speaks in a conversation with a friend who is seen as a friend that Russian girls are junkies, that they are doing well for her, and she has favor with him.


While collecting data on thieves, van der Meer gradually begins empathy with thieves.


Van der Meer guesses thieves are Egyptian because speaking Arabic is Egyptian accents and because they are calling Egypt's number. And he thought "he is not a general criminal" at all, and initially embraced the feeling of "I want to punish thieves" embraces feeling guilty for thieves gradually.


The thief says she had a sleep at a homeless shelter or a friend's house.


"I thought he was a lonely, sad man."


Listen to the voice of the thief who strongly presses "Do not forget Friday's prayers", said van der Meer, "I was like a very religious-keen man."


"Is not he really poor?"


Van der Meer, who remotely controlled mobile communication volume and van der Meer who realized that thieves frequently purchase call credits ... ....


I purchased the call credit by remote control while the criminal was asleep.


What action will be taken by van der Meer, who began to emotionally import thieves? You can tell by watching the movie. It is a 20-minute short movie spoken in Dutch, but with English subtitles, it is a configuration that can be attracted to the last.
