"While Scott wasn't close enough to find the exact floor and room of his personal belongings, Apple's Find My network pulled enough context to guide LAX police to a successful recovery and arrest, with several people in the building detained shortly after. "I saw the guy with my clothes on -- my shoes on, my shirt on, my pants on," Scott described the detainment. Meanwhile, Scott's luggage was left "sliced up" with his clothes littered across different rooms of the building, he recounted."
A traveler flew from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles and discovered luggage missing at baggage claim. He used an AirTag inside the bag to track its location and saw it moving toward the rideshare lot and out of the airport. He pursued the signal and the device moved across the street toward an abandoned building near Sepulveda Boulevard and 98th Street. Apple's Find My network provided location context that guided LAX police to recover the luggage and detain several people. The recovered luggage was cut open with clothing scattered; a stranger was found wearing some of the items. AirTags, launched in 2021, have seen multiple real-world recoveries.
