AirTags to the rescue. According to NBC News, Philip Obando of California successfully recovered his stolen BMW thanks to a cleverly hidden AirTag.
With the AirTag’s tracking and the dashcam’s recording, Obando pieced together the entire story of his stolen car – when, who, and even what the thief did with it.
Empty driveway. Racing heart. Obando launched the Find My app, his eyes glued to the screen as the AirTag’s signal on the map led him closer to his stolen BMW.
Obando wasn’t the only one the thief surprised. The dashcam caught them red-handed, recording the entire sequence – switching plates, a car wash pit stop, and even planning another heist. To top it all off, the forgetful thief left their wallet behind, offering Obando undeniable proof.
While the story highlights AirTags’ effectiveness, it’s important to prioritize safety first and to contact the police in situations like these. Never take actions in your own hands.
