A Flickr Of Recognition

Technology is so, so cool:

A mugging victim spotted pictures on the Internet of people wearing the jewelry snatched from him after a night of clubbing, authorities said yesterday.

A short time after the May 6 heist, Charles Zamian, 24, found a Web site with pictures of people posing in his stolen jewelry, police said.

He forwarded the images to the cops, who sent investigators to the club where the victim had been partying the night he was mugged.

On Tuesday, they spotted one of the men in the pictures, Shamel Corbett, 23, of Brooklyn, hanging out in the club.

After Corbett left, they followed and arrested him, along with pals Fernando Francis and Jerome Davis, both 23 and from Brooklyn.
