After repeated thefts, she mailed herself an Apple AirTag as bait. It worked

LA Times  

Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s deputies were led to two suspected thieves after a woman mailed herself an Apple AirTag, a personal tracking device that showed where her stolen mail had gone. Two mail theft suspects were thwarted by a tracking device and a Santa Barbara County woman who was fed up with her mail being stolen, authorities said. On Monday, Santa Barbara County sheriff’s deputies were called to the Los Alamos Post Office shortly after 7 a.m. for a report of mail theft. Lara was booked at the Northern Branch Jail on suspicion of possession of checks with intent to commit fraud, fictitious checks, identity theft, credit card theft and conspiracy, the Sheriff’s Office said.
