A Daly City man proved to be an easy mark for a selfie-snapping swindler he met on Craigslist, police said.

Authorities are now sharing the glamour shot of the thief on Facebook, hoping to track down the woman and return several electronic devices to the poor sap she plundered.

The crime in question went down on Sept. 23 when the 26-year-old victim picked up a stranger he met on Craigslist from San Francisco and drove her to his apartment on Poncetta Drive, according to Daly City police.

The victim told officers he talked with the woman for a few minutes in the apartment before she told him to take a shower.

While he was scrubbing down, the woman swiftly made off with his iPhone, iPad and MacBook, police said.

But she gave police their best clue when she let vanity get the best of her. She slipped up by snapping a selfie with one of the stolen Apple products, and the victim was able see it by logging on remotely to the device, police said.

Daly City police posted the picture on their Facebook page on Wednesday, hoping someone will recognize her and call them.
