I just came across this post from a guy who had his mobile stolen and suddenly found photos appearing, apparently taken by the person who stole it, in his flickr stream:
My cell phone was stolen last Friday. I had it disconnected and arranged to get a replacement. It had been set up with the excellent service from ShoZu to automatically upload all pictures taken with the phone to Flickr. So today, completely surprisingly, I find pictures on my Flickr account of the family of the person who took the phone. I’m not sure they knew what was happening (they replaced the SIM card with their own, clearly, but probably didn’t notice ShoZu)…

Very cool. That is an excellent inbuilt security device. Although this family may well have bought the phone ‘legitimately’. Call the cops, or the RSPCA.
