After a man's truck was robbed in Houston, the man thought he'd lost his iPad, MacBook and $5,000 — until he checked his iCloud stream and found a series of selfies taken by the thieves.

When he saw the photos, Schaefer said, "At first I wondered who they were, and then within seconds I realized who they were and I saw that they had my money in their mouth."

Posting on Reddit, Schaefer shared his progress tracking down the guys and enlisted the help of fellow Reddit users.

"Once I heard him say Dorian I knew where I recognized the guy from," one commenter wrote. "Went to high school with this idiot."

Other Reddit users posted social media snapshots detailing the unfolding events and connected Schaefer with the thieves' Facebook accounts.

KTRK reported Friday that the investigation is ongoing, but with so much information on the crooks, Schaefer has a leg up on tracking them down.
