A San Antonio, Texas man attempting to confront the thief of his vehicle allegedly killed him after tracking him down with an Apple AirTag.
Last Wednesday, San Antonio police reportedly received a call from an owner to report a stolen pickup truck, local television station KSAT-TV reported.

The latter had managed to locate the thief in question using an Apple AirTag, a small device that allows you to locate lost items hidden inside the vehicle.
Except that while waiting for the police to arrive at the scene, the owner of the vehicle decided to confront the suspect, a 30-year-old man.
If the sequence of events is still unclear, the thief appears to have drawn a gun before the owner responded in the same manner, shooting and killing the suspect who was still in the stolen vehicle.

“I know it’s frustrating, but please don’t take this into your own hands,” Officer Nick Soliz, spokesman for the San Antonio Police Department, told the TV network.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances that led to the thirty-something’s death. The owner of the vehicle could expect a report.
