Jaydedgirl Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Yesterday my bf an his cousin went out an on their way back 2 guys tried to hijack them, they took my bfs cellphone and some money. I am thankfull that he is safe and they didn't hurt him. However all my pics are on his phone and memory card! I'm scared because my bf has some nude pictures of me on the phone as well as me posing in lingerie which was meant only for him to see! I trust my bf and so I sent him those pics since ww dating for a long time. But now all those pics are in someone elses hands and I'm afraid they might put it on the Internet and the fact that they must be looking at my naked body I feel sick to my stomach and m birthday is coming up and this is the last thing I need. My bf is so silly too because he doesn't know whether he had the pin lock feature on or off on his phone! I hope it's on so they can't access my pics what should I do?? My bf has already went to the police but I an going insane here coz those are my private pictures Link to comment
avman Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'm afraid there really isn't anything you can do right now. If the police recover it you might get it back. Hopefully your boyfriend called the cell phone company to get the phone shut off. The thieves might just discard the phone once it doesn't work anymore. But if they do get the pics it's out of your control how they use them. I'm really sorry. Link to comment
dramallama Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 That's just what happens when you take nude photos of yourself. There just isn't any way to make sure they don't fall into the wrong hands (whether intentionally or by accident). Nothing much to do except to learn from this. I doubt that they would be released though. Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Oh no! You poor thing! What are the chances they will have any idea who is actually in the pictures and when they were taken? They don't know if they are from an amatuer porn site, or an ex from 10 years ago, etc. So even if they did see them chances are it would never be connected to you. I would be freaking out too though. I'm sorry. I hope someday this will be a distant memory that you can laugh at. Link to comment

RedDress Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Why "if he had been wiser"? He was hijacked! What did you want him to do? Risk his life for his phone? I know you are upset and that you feel completely vulnerable. This is totally understandable... but you need to direct your anger to the right place. You can be mad at yourself for sending him those pics (unfortunately, these things can happen... a lost phone, a stolen phone, a malicious friend, etc). Or you can be mad at the hijackers. But your bf? He was a victim of a crime. So much so, in fact, that he contacted the police. It's not his fault. I'm SO sorry that this happened to you. At the very least, if it were to hit the internet, you would be a 'random' woman and not someone identifiable. Chances are that you wouldn't even know and neither would anyone else that you know. The odds of it getting out in a way that would embarrass you is very slim. I really think that you have to chalk this one up as a life lesson learned and try to put it out of your head as much as possible. But please don't blame your bf on this one. He was the victim of a crime. Link to comment
Eocsor Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Thats why you never include your face in any pictures like that. My girlfriend sends me pictures like that all the time, but only from the shoulders down. That way, she can't be identified. Sorry for your troubles but on the bright side, maybe you can get some residual payments from any website that publishes them Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 It's the risk you take when you send photos like that. I send photos like that to my fiance but I know the risk and accept it. It sucks, and I"m so sorry this happened to you. The cell company should be able to shut the phone off but I don' tknow how easy a phone is to hot wire nowadays to be honest.... Link to comment
BellaDonna Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Honestly, OP I doubt whoever stole the phone would put the pics online. What would be the point? It's very unlikely that they'd profit off such a thing. Honestly I'd worry more about the thief seeing them than anything else. But maybe they just stole the phone and cleared everything off ASAP and altered it in order to get away with their crime. Tell your BF he must try to remember whether he used the pinlock feature!!! I just got an iphone 4 and when I was reading through a list of available free applications there were tons of them which were intended to keep photos private and keep certain photos in a password protected "vault" so that if the phone was stolen the photos would be accessed. When your BF gets a phone in the future he may want to consider an application like that. I hope the thieves are somehow caught. Link to comment
penelope13 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I feel violated and disgusted..and i dont feel like my bf can protect me if i was in the car with him, i might have been raped or kidnapped if i was. I feel so miserable and worried and sad...i also have a lot of anger because this happened. I know we cant control things like this but if he had been wiser this wouldnt have happened... I'm sorry, but I find your reaction totally over the top. I can understand your discomfort about the pictures, but to start thinking about kidnapping and rape, because your boyfriend got mugged, is a bit extreme. Don't forget - it's your boyfriend who is the victim in this. Don't make this about yourself. I don't think you are justified in being angry with him because he may have forgotten to pinlock his phone. Forgetting to lock your phone is quite human and no huge crime. If you think you are uncomfortable to have your pictures in an unlocked phone - don't send them to his phone then. Link to comment
bulletproof Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I feel violated and disgusted..and i dont feel like my bf can protect me if i was in the car with him, i might have been raped or kidnapped if i was. I feel so miserable and worried and sad...i also have a lot of anger because this happened. I know we cant control things like this but if he had been wiser this wouldnt have happened... I agree that this is a bit over the top. I also am confused as to how this long-term bf popped up recently when you have posted other threads talking about being interested in some guy at your gym? Can you clarify this? Link to comment
