I don't know what "high resolution" means. I don't know what "72dpi" adds
to the argument. The resolution of the photos in question is 1800 x 1200
pixels.
Given that the alleged thief's name suggest "dreamy" images, and that the
original images have plenty of sky, water and sand, I hope we can agree that
high levels of detail in the prints are not a priority.
It is trivially simple to get an acceptable 16x10 print at 300 dpi from the
1800 x 1200 pixel original. Of course, it is nowhere near the resolution
that would be available from the original image, but that isn't the issue
(in fact, for the alleged thief, it might be an advantage).

Apparently, Chuck, she DID not post high-res photos.
