It's 2024 but criminals still haven't learned that Apple's AirTag exists. In the latest story of someone using an AirTag to solve a theft, a woman in California has used Apple's item tracker to help police find two mail thieves.

As reported by the Los Angeles Times, a woman in Santa Barbara County experienced her mail getting stolen twice. According to the report, "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. Thieves stole items from a woman’s post office box, and this was not the first time the box was hit, she told deputies."
