Man Tracks Down Stolen Truck Using Apple Air Tag

California contractor Robert Pendergrast watched on a neighbor’s surveillance camera as his pickup truck was stolen. Lucky for him, he had an Apple Air Tag in the trunk. The Christmas gift came in handy, as it showed Pendergrast the exact location of his truck, in real time. Minutes later, he was in hot pursuit. He called the police and gave them a running blow-by-blow account of his truck’s whereabouts.

Cops really won’t do anything but let your truck get stolen. Take matters into your own hands!!

[noahreed]

They warn you about how dangerous it is to handle this yourself, but the police won't do anything about it themselves.

Cops "There's really not much we can do."
Also Cops "Don't take matters into your own hands."

As someone who's had their truck stolen, definitely 100% always take it into your own hands, atleast if you want your stuff back.

I say it is necessary to chase your property down while giving the cops directions. Because most of the time the cops will tell you to stop chasing them but when you do they get away and the cops do nothing to help. A lot of the time that is. It’s your right to protect your property and often necessary to do it yourself in getting it back in any way you can.

Nice to see AirTags used for something other than creepy stalker activities

As a man, I'm not gonna wait for another man (cops) to come to my rescue and potentially lose the opportunity of taking back what I worked hard for.

Surprised the owner wasn’t arrested for preventing the thief from stealing his truck and keeping it

[musicmaniac]

Did he say he followed the vehicle for 30 minutes while on the phone with police and they never showed up? What?

[tinatenbusch]

The police have some nerve saying and don't take these matters into their own hands all while they do nothing

[jonrandall]

He said “this guy’s driving my truck man” like he just caught him wearing his underwear. The violation. Don’t mess with a man’s truck. Especially work truck. 🔪⚰️

The wisest thing that should be on everyones' mind currently, should be, To invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world.

Kudos to the bravery of this man. Cops really don't care much about a stolen truck. This guy did exactly what was required in the moment.

If he didn't take this matter into his own hands, the police would've likely never recovered the truck, and would've 100% not found the suspect. He NEEDED to take this into his own hands

My daughter has one. And when she went to a car wash, the workers vacuumed her device. When she got home, she noticed it said that it was still at the car wash. So she went back there to see if she could find it. The workers searched the vacuums and didn't find it, so she pressed the alarm, and it began to ring. It was ringing inside one of the female workers purse. 😲 Come to find out, they let the workers take home the garbage bags, which may contain change, jewelry, and other items of value. After that, she bought me one for my birthday. And I have it in my car for just in case also. But I double side tape mine in an out of sight area of my car, so I won't have that problem.

[firemetal]

I commend this guy for standing up for himself. Well done. 👏

[RJTheBikeGuy]

Did "authorities" get his truck back? Did they catch the thief?

[Ali-vlsc]

My dads van was stolen before and the cops didn’t do nothing we live by a store and a bar both have security cameras but cops didn’t even bother checking them all they did was make a report.We all know how helpful that is

police :“let your insurance handle it”
