Investigation underway after iPad theft in River Oaks

HOUSTON – Since Local 2 first introduced you to Randy Schaefer, new video has surfaced of the two people he believes stole his iPad.

"This, my good people, is what we get from a good night's hustle," a man who identifies himself as Dorian says in the video.

When Schaefer shared the story of his stolen iPad, Local 2's Facebook page lit up.

"I realized that my backpack had been stolen," Schaefer said. "I had cash in there and an iPad and a Macbook Pro."

Schaefer says when he walked out of his home in River Oaks, he found that someone had broken into his truck and had taken his iPad and money he had in a bag. He called police and thought that was the end of it -- until pictures of two men surfaced through his iCloud account.

"There were several pictures," Schaefer said. "There were about 15 pictures."

When he shared the pictures on Local 2 News, about 11,000 people shared the story on Facebook along with the names of two possible suspects.

Schaefer says police contacted him over the weekend, gathered more evidence and hope to make arrests soon.

The video on YouTube called "Burger King Ballin" shows the same two young men with thousands of dollars in $100 bills. The video appears to have been shot at a Burger King, possibly the same restaurant where Schaefer believes these selfies were taken and uploaded in Montrose.

The victim says he had the "Find my iPad" app installed, but believes it was turned off right after it was stolen.
