How to catch a package thief: This California woman used an Apple AirTag
Briefly

A Southern California woman, frustrated by persistent package thefts from her post office box, devised a plan using an Apple AirTag to track a suspected thief. After some of her packages had been stolen, the woman tracked the stolen items using the AirTag she sent to the same address. This innovative approach led to the successful identification and arrest of two suspects, showcasing how modern technology can be leveraged for personal safety and to combat crime.
The Apple AirTags, retailing at $29, proved to be a valuable tool in this situation, as they became popular for helping users keep track of lost belongings. The sheriff's department acknowledged the woman for her clever thinking and for contacting law enforcement rather than confronting the culprits herself. Her proactive measures not only led to her stolen package being recovered but also implicated the suspects in thefts affecting numerous other victims.
