Stolen iPod Holder Exposes Self
Per WPEC, the young woman pictured above took pictures of herself using an iPod that was stolen from an SUV in South County Regional Park near sports fields.
If you recognize her, Crime Stoppers requests that you call them at 1-800-458-TIPS (-8477). The woman pictured may have information leading to those who broke into the vehicle (and others), or she may have been involved in the crime.
Hint to iPod thieves – when you take pictures using a stolen iPod, it shows up in the owner’s “photo stream.” Fortunately criminals generally don’t read a site like ours and probably don’t read much at all.
It’s also fortunate that we were not subjected to any twerking photos.

The Sun-Sentinel reports that a new skate park is under construction at the Loggers Run park on Palmetto Park Road, roughly 1.2 miles west of the Chili’s on Route 441.
The skate park, primarily for skateboarders, is the first phase of what may become a larger project including Razor scooters and BMX bikes. Read more about it at Drop In Action Sports Complex, or on their Facebook page which seems to get more frequent updates.
