Food porn busts ID thieves

Food porn busts ID thieves, Instagramming a delicious meal isn't a crime — until it is. Nathaniel Troy Maye and Tiwanna Tenise Thomason were tracked down by Florida police on suspicion of stealing thousands of identities after posting a photo of their dinner online.

In what may be the first instance of a "food porn" image being officially used to help fight crime, a photo of the couple's steak and mac-and-cheese meal was used as judicial evidence. It placed Maye and Thomason (who were already suspects in the case) at Morton's steakhouse the same night a large data swap took place. The well-fed couple now face 12 years in prison, all thanks to their inability to resist bragging about a fancy meal.
