Police catch Apple Watch thieves because its owner makes it ring

Apple Watch Security

We are going with a curious and funny news, not everything will be that if Kuo rumors, or new Apple Arcade games. We know that Apple devices can be tracked thanks to the "Search" feature included in iOS. The problem comes for the "thieves" who are unaware of this application.

It turns out that two suspected thieves have been "hunted" by the police after the theft of an Apple Watch. Its owner reported the theft of his watch, and Thanks to its geolocation, the track led the police to a motorhome. In full registry of this, the owner of the Apple Watch made it ring and the police could find it hidden in the vehicle….

The Roseville Police Department, in the US, has explained the news. This Wednesday, a patrol began tracking the location shown by the owner of a recently stolen Apple Watch on his iPhone. The app led them to a parking lot on Auburn Boulevard, near Whyte Avenue. There they found a suspicious motorhome, and inside, two individuals on probation.

While the police searched the vehicle, the owner of the Apple Watch made it ring, and immediately the patrol heard it and found it hiding in the trailer. In the end, the two occupants of the caravan were arrested in the South Placer County Jail for multiple crimes, including possession of stolen property and possession of drugs.

The Find App can currently only locate Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch, etc. We are waiting for the launch of the Tile-type locator keychain that Apple has already ready for commercialization. It will be a small keychain, which you can also locate like any other device from the company. The grace of the invention is that you can hook it to your keys, to your dog's collar, to leave it in the car, on the motorcycle, on the bike, etc. Many of us believed that it was the "one more thing" of the last keynote in September, but it was not. We hope its launch will be one of these days, as has happened with the new AirPods Pro.
