An Arkansas man won't have to get a sketch artist for a picture of the woman he says has his iPad, as she keeps sending pictures of herself to him.
Allen Engstrom said he left his iPad on an airplane and it somehow ended up in the unidentified woman's hands.
But what she might not know is that the device is synced to an iCloud, meaning every time she takes a photo of herself - which she does often - the photo's stream back to Engstrom's family devices.

Smile: This unidentified woman's self-portraits continue showing up in Allen Engstrom's social media feeds now that she has his iPad
Cracking up: Allen Engstrom says seeing the woman's self portraits are a source of amusement
'I have no idea whether or not someone will say hey I now this person,' he told Fox 16. 'Every time I get a picture of her it's like a continuing fountain of entertainment.'
Though iPads can be tracked on a map or locked, Engstrom said he didn't have any location services turned on.
Without those features enabled it may be gone for good.
Sync: Because all of his devices are synced with iCloud, images taken with one show up on all of his accounts
'It's sad that somebody lost their device,' said Zach McDonald with The iPhone Guys. 'If he didn't [have the features on] then he's kinda probably at a loss and relying on the goodwill of social media.'
Engstrom said he hasn't filed a theft report but with the story going viral he soon will.
He has his name and address engraved on the back and the woman appearing on his social media may be identifiable using facial recognition software.

As it is, he's keeping a sense of humor about it.
He's even considering taking a picture of himself holding up a sign saying 'I want my iPad back' in hopes she gets the message.
