Hi, I think this is a no sh*t sherlock post but the other day I put a couple of the photos I'd recently taken of my engagement ring onto my iPod and off I went shopping. I realised while I was out that I'd recently used the map application to find directions from my house to an appointment and that, when I went into that app those directions were still the first thing on the screen.
That, coupled to the fact that since I have absolutely no important or confidential data (other than those few pics) on the iPod I don't have a screen lock on it, made me realise that I was asking for trouble. So I deleted all photos and changed the map app screen info.
Just thought I'd mention it because it is a random combination of factors that could lead to a horrible situation. Could be that one had one's address on something in a bag and the phone/pod whatever with pics loaded. Don't want to make anyone paranoid, but thought I'd mention it.
But I could well be the only one dumb enough to set up such a combination of factors.... (probably)
