Elements that would complete an otherwise good article are far too often missing. I read a story today about an iPad having been stolen, and the owner using his techno-geek-wizardry to try and turn the tables on the culprit through publicizing some photos. I've seen these 'crime with a twist' stories quite a few times by now: the bad guy snaps some mugs and posts them, and the owner sees it all happening in near real-time, and uses the 'power of social media' to identify the criminal and solve the crime ahead of the police.
So, give us the pictures!
This story lays down the basics, but provides no photos, to which a reader states the blindingly obvious:
Where are the pictures? What is the purpose of this story? Are we supposed to help? If so, how? Is this article intended to be a warning to consumers? Is it to highlight the capabilities of cloud-based storage? Is it to continue saturating the market with everything 'Apple' regardless of the content-less story? Where is a link to the original Yahoo article attributed?

Of course, it's nice not being subject to the same rules; but yah, where were the frakking pics?! Should I post one?
