Fed up with Mail Theft, She Sent Herself an AirTag to Catch the Thieves

Authorities were able to track the AirTag and the suspected criminals

Annoyed by her mail being stolen, a California woman took a different approach to tracking down the thieves.

The Santa Barbara County, Calif., Sheriff’s Office said it arrested two suspects this month after they were tracked down using an Apple AirTag that the victim mailed to herself in hopes of catching the thieves who kept stealing her mail.

Deputies said they responded to a call on the morning of Aug. 19 for a report of a mail theft that had just taken place at the Los Alamos, Calif., Post Office, according to the release.
