Did Phone Thieves Send Selfies to Victim?

First, a Rhode Island woman's phone disappeared from a restaurant on Saturday. Then strange selfies began arriving to her via email.

A teenager in a Bulls shirt. A picture of three young, men two of whom seem very impressed with themselves given the lack of shirts and flexing that is occurring. Are the photos deliberate? Are they an accident? The phone's owner was not amused:

"If any of these poor excuses for a son belong to you or someone you know, take the time to explain the basics of life to them," said Betty Ann, who posted a series of photos to the Cranston Patch Facebook page.

"Tell them Karma returns quicker than you think."
