North Long Beach man finds stolen car using an Apple Airtag

A Long Beach man was able to find his car after it had been stolen by tracking an Apple Airtag he had left inside of it. Philip Obando said he walked out of his house and his car was gone, he immediately called the police and jumped onto his phone's Airtag app to track the car. Obando and his wife tracked the car until the Airtag froze, but picked up again in the afternoon when they spotted it by a gas station. Obando said the man left behind drug paraphernalia inside the car and when he reviewed the dashcam video he saw the man driving around his neighborhood, into alleyways, swapping out the license plates and even taking the vehicle to the car wash.
