Woman Sends Herself AirTag to Catch Mail Thieves

A California woman whose mail was recently stolen sent herself an Apple AirTag to track down the thieves, police said. Authorities in Los Alamos arrested two suspects Monday. Virginia Franchessca Lara, 27, and Donald Ashton Terry, 37, were located in Santa Maria with the victim's mail - including the package containing the AirTag - and other items authorities believe were stolen from more than a dozen victims.

Funny story, a coworker had his apple device stolen a few years ago now. He tracked it to a location and called the local police. Our local police told him "We aren't going there to get it and we suggest you do not either". It was before BLM and Defund the Police, they were just not willing to deal with the gang members at the house. At the time we had a person on staff that had relapsed with a drug addiction and was stealing stuff and then selling it to off.

"We aren't going there to get it and we suggest you do not either"

Sounds like a bunch of p*ssies like the cops that let first graders and teachers die in Uvalde.

The "heat" do not ever want to get hurt or dirty.

The police did a better job here than they do in Chicago.

My son attends a University just north of Chicago in Evanston Ill. There is rampant bike theft on the campus by locals. A student air tagged their bike and tracked the bike to the house of the gang pulling off the thefts, and police refused to go in.
