Twitter helps to reunite iPad and Thai owner
Police in Harrogate used Twitter to reunite a lost iPad with its owner – who lives nearly 6,000 miles away in Thailand.
The iPad was handed to Harrogate Police earlier this year and PC Ed Rogerson was convinced social media could help find its owner.
He discovered photos on it of a flight ticket and others he believed were of the female owner.
