"Clues"? He posted pics of himself at Madame Tussauds, as well as at the London Eye, Tower Bridge and Oxford Circus. A clue is a piece of information that you use to deduce a conclusion. He outright gave them his location.

This would have made for the easiest game of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego ever.
