Tinder — it’s not just for wasting time and cheesy pick-up lines anymore. Now, you can find notorious burglars, too! Tinder really does have it all. Before you delete your Tinder forever and start to hide, know that it’s not what you think. The burglar wasn’t hanging out on Tinder, trying to find the man of her dreams. Co-founders of a startup called BuildZoom created the Tinder profile for her, to draw her out of hiding. This really proves that guys will swipe right for anyone.
BuildZoom created the Tinder profile by compiling footage from hidden cameras (so I guess no selfies). Her tagline, instead of being an emoji or inspirational Marilyn Monroe quote, was: “I rob offices in SF. $5,000 reward for identifying me.” If I could make that kind of money using Tinder, I’d never stop swiping.
BuildZoom searched for the woman for months, with no lucky. Using Tinder, they found her within days. Looks like Tinder really is the app of the future — you can find love in a hopeless place, and the burglar that’s been stealing from you. Hopefully, you don’t find both in one person…
