[QUOTE]For two South Florida identity thieves, justice came served with a mouthwatering steak and a side order of macaroni and cheese — captured in a "food porn" photo posted online that helped investigators track the couple down.
Nathaniel Troy Maye, 44, of Harlem, N.Y., and Tiwanna Tenise Thomason, 39, of Miramar, are facing up to a dozen years in federal prison and hefty fines. The couple pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and possession of unauthorized access devices Friday in federal court in Fort Lauderdale.[/QUOTE]

I assume it was because they used a stolen phone to take the photo and they caught the meta data somehow (or they uploaded the photo to the original person's instagram account or something like dumbasses)
