Washington.
A US airline passenger who lost his iPad on board used a special app to find
it, in the home of one of the flight attendants, police said.
The
attendant, identified as 43-year-old Horizon Air employee Wendy Ronelle Dye,
was arrested late Friday, said Bill Kler, spokesman for the Oregon City Police
Department near the western state of Oregon's most populous city Portland.
The
passenger was a Nevada man who used the Find My iPad app to locate his tablet
after it went missing on the plane, Kler told AFP.
Dye told
police that travelers on the aircraft said they found the tablet on a seat and
gave it to her, and she had planned to turn it over to the airline eventually
and had not used it, Kler said.
But police
found personal information of hers on it, including her husband's birthday,
said the spokesman.
