A woman who tried to unlock a stolen iPhone unwittingly took her own photo. An app on the phone then automatically sent the photo to the owner, who called the police.
The app, identified by some media outlets as iGotYa, can only be installed on jailbroken iPhones.
iGotYa takes a picture of anyone who tries to unlock it, maps their location and then sends the information to the owner in an email.

Police have released the picture of the woman who might have stolen the phone.
