They warn you about how dangerous it is to handle this yourself, but the police won't do anything about it themselves.

Cops really won’t do anything but let your truck get stolen. Take matters into your own hands!!

Cops "There's really not much we can do." Also Cops "Don't take matters into your own hands."

As someone who's had their truck stolen, definitely 100% always take it into your own hands, atleast if you want your stuff back.

Nice to see AirTags used for something other than creepy stalker activities

I say it is necessary to chase your property down while giving the cops directions. Because most of the time the cops will tell you to stop chasing them but when you do they get away and the cops do nothing to help. A lot of the time that is. It’s your right to protect your property and often necessary to do it yourself in getting it back in any way you can.

As a man, I'm not gonna wait for another man (cops) to come to my rescue and potentially lose the opportunity of taking back what I worked hard for.

He said “this guy’s driving my truck man” like he just caught him wearing his underwear. The violation. Don’t mess with a man’s truck. Especially work truck. 🔪⚰️

Did he say he followed the vehicle for 30 minutes while on the phone with police and they never showed up? What?

The police have some nerve saying and don't take these matters into their own hands all while they do nothing

My daughter has one. And when she went to a car wash, the workers vacuumed her device. When she got home, she noticed it said that it was still at the car wash. So she went back there to see if she could find it. The workers searched the vacuums and didn't find it, so she pressed the alarm, and it began to ring. It was ringing inside one of the female workers purse. 😲 Come to find out, they let the workers take home the garbage bags, which may contain change, jewelry, and other items of value. After that, she bought me one for my birthday. And I have it in my car for just in case also. But I double side tape mine in an out of sight area of my car, so I won't have that problem.

“Authorities warn about the dangers of taking matters like this into your own hands.” Well it sounds like to me if the owner DIDN’T take matters into his own hands that he wouldn’t have gotten his truck back.

If he didn't take this matter into his own hands, the police would've likely never recovered the truck, and would've 100% not found the suspect. He NEEDED to take this into his own hands

Kudos to the bravery of this man. Cops really don't care much about a stolen truck. This guy did exactly what was required in the moment.

police :“let your insurance handle it” insurance: “let the police handle it”

WOW!!! Glad you're safe and got your truck back. I sure hope you thanked your friend for that gift. Be safe everyone 👋.

My dads van was stolen before and the cops didn’t do nothing we live by a store and a bar both have security cameras but cops didn’t even bother checking them all they did was make a report.We all know how helpful that is

We need to treat car thieves like we used to treat horse thieves... real life justice needs to make a big comeback.

I commend this guy for standing up for himself. Well done. 👏

The wisest thing that should be on everyones' mind currently, should be, To invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world.

He probably burned $60 in gas on that 30 minute pursuit. Also you already know the thief won't be charged because he gave it back, it's California.

Did "authorities" get his truck back? Did they catch the thief?

Super important to say “man” as many times as possible when speaking to the cops on the phone.

my friend did the exact same thing a couple years ago. truck was stolen but we put an air tag between the seats. went to the guys house, had a fistfight, then a high speed chase, then got the police to take over the chase.

*"it's just a car"* Sometimes your vehicle is only thing holding you life together. Without it, you may have no job and no easy way to get the things you need, or worse - no backup place to live. *"Let the cops handle it"* You would pretty much 100% guarantee yourself you would never see the car again or have the suspect arrested. Police WILL NOT waste resources on your under 20,000$ vehicle. The suspect would be released next day thanks to democratic criminal policies. *"Just go get it the next day, it has an airtag!"* Within 48 hours, your vehicle is painted a different colour, has new VIN numbers added, and is in not in your area by a long shot. By the next day - your vehicle could be completely unrecognizable even if you saw it. Even with the airtag somehow still in it. you'd have a really hard case saying that is your vehicle.

Finally, an Apple Air tag story that doesn't involve stalking!

"This guy is driving my truck man" made me laugh for whatever reason

Good on you man, glad to see you got your truck back!

"He's driving my truck, mann!!" Every bro teared up a little bit there..... it was just your turn buddy

He was chasing him through the backroads of Morgan hill , know those like the back of my hand .. glad he got his truck back . San Jose is pretty bad right now thank God he didn’t get hurt. One love .

Device is good, but the best is put in jail the thief 5 years in prison, they will think twice before stealing a vehicle.

When citizens take matters into their own hands. Police always “warn of the dangers”, it must be so dangerous because the police themselves don’t bother helping 😂

Unfortunately cops won't do a damn thing when your car gets stolen or someone destroys your car and take off.

Cops don't care about your stolen property. Coming from a guy that had to find his stolen truck and stolen atv yet never recovered stolen firearm. Just all this stealing from me alone goes to show how well the cops do their job around here.

That happened to me awhile ago. My wife and I went to the store to get diapers for our daughter, when we walked out, they were stealing our car in front of us. We called the police and everything. The next day, the cops found our car. Windshield wipers gone, battery and wires yanked, and a sweater gone. They even had the nerve to leave a note saying(thanks for your car). It was not fun.

Surprised the owner wasn’t arrested for preventing the thief from stealing his truck and keeping it

It’s very risky to do something like this. I’m glad it all worked out.

"Cops warn of the dangers of chasing down your stolen property" yeah, you might actually get it back. When I was stationed in Miami, one of my soldiers had his car stolen, so he kept calling the police to tell them where it was based on the charges on his sunpass. They kept telling him they were going to look into it, and finally he called when he found the vehicle itself. They towed it and took the plates off while "collecting evidence", and then gave him a ticket for driving without a license plate the minute he pulled off the tow lot. His plates were out of state, were going to take like 10 days to be replaced, and they were charging him insane amounts by the day for parking it there.

Authorities warn against handling these situations yourself, but in spite of this man giving detailed location information to the authorities, I didn't see any footage of them handling it.

"Don't take the matter into your own hands" yet wouldn't do a damn thing about it, glad he got his truck back

The authorities only warn of the danger because they don’t feel like doing their job to go and recover it. Welcome to beautiful sunny California 🤦‍♂️

You can't count on police to get your stuff back. It's not a priority for them and they could care less.

So glad you got it back

Good for him!! I'm glad he got his truck back.

I have a hidden switch on mine that disables my truck battery. I flip it every time I get out of my vehicle. It’s actually a great security measure because if I also forget to turn something electrical off, it saves my battery from going dead.

I’m glad that In the 30 minute pursuit, while he was on the phone with the cops, they actually intercepted and intervened on this felony in progress…oh wait, that didn’t happen…

Giving the whole new meaning to free advertisement. That's definitely one hell of a device.

Good for this man!

"authorities warn the potential danger of a situation like this" then whyd it take over 30 minutes for them to find him(even tho they still didnt)😭😂

30 mins no cops, even though they had the guy on the phone telling them where it’s at. Next time the guy might take a car with kids in the back, or carjack someone and hurt or kill them or something even worse. Great job cops so glad you’re out there protecting and serving.

Apple 🍎: “ have you ever had your car stolen?” (AIRTAG) 😂

The police will not do anything about it. If it's your property, you have every right to attempt to recover it no matter what happens.

The law-enforcement doesn’t want you to pursue them simply because they can spend tens of thousands of dollars searching down this truck to never find it.

Authority's advise against taking the law into your own hands ,instead call them and leave a voice-mail and someone will return your call at their convenience.

That's awesome glad he got his truck back safe an sound. I think we should all invest in one of those devices for our cars.

Good for you great job

Im glad technology like this exist saves livelihoods

His voice sounds like it needs some lotion 🧴

He's lucky he got it back. Putting an AirTag in a console is a pretty stupid place to put it. Hide it next time.

Tim Cook : "It's free marketing right here"

Ok the device is very helpful in the right hands. Remember people were victimized or followed by the exact same device

Police: hey don't take matters into your own hands Police: we'll try to get on it next month.

Thanks Inside Edition, this video just helped every thief to look around the vehicle for a possible AirTag 😅

my friend just had his $55000 trusk stolen in Irving, Texas & I’m so dang mad I want to drive up there and help him find it he’s so calm tempered & I’ml freaking out ready to pistol whip whoever stole it. We’re from Arkansas & he’s a traveling welder so he goes state to state working and, I always been worried about somebody stealing it. It just makes me so mad he’s the sweetest guy & doesn’t deserve to have his property stolen. The area that he was living in is full of Hispanic & the police said they’ve been seeing alot of cars being stolen & I bet it was one of them since they love trucks

He could’ve lost his life if he wasn’t careful. I’m glad he is safe though

This day in age everybody's taking matters into their own hands and cops won't do anything nowadays they're too lazy

Best AirTag commercial ever. I’m going to buy one.

Man is lucky to be safe and getting his truck back

But they never mentioned what happened to the thief or how he stole it in the first place

It seems to me that with all the crime that we’ve been going through, this is what we have to do. Protect your belongings fellas.

This is going to be the best commercial for Apple car tracker

I like how they played the same clip like times of him turning left.

Whaaat?!?! I'm surprised Mr. Pendergrast didn't get any tickets for speeding & doing u-turns. I'm also shocked that the driver in his stolen truck didn't pursue harassment charges...of course I'm being sarcastic. Way to go, Mr. Pendergrast...wished you would have had a whole 'crew' (wink, wink) behind you.

That Air Tag is a great idea. Actually I’m going to put one in my boyfriends car. If someone steals the car they will just get caught anyway. This probably would help minimize car thefts. Place those tags in spots that the thieves really wouldn’t check. This is brilliant!!!

I can see the cops played an important role, by acting as therapists that is.

No ones talking about how the real hero is the person who gave him the air tag

We take matters like this into our own hands because too many people get away!! I dont care if i put my own life in danger. I died trying when the police wouldn’t.

“You got me stuck inside your love cycle i read your love bible” finish the lyric

Now that's a real life commercial for apple.

Plot twist. Dude never had his truck stolen and this is just a dramatic apple tag commercial.

Damm, now next time the thief will know where to look for the air tag if he ever steal ur truck again! 😂😂

Good job man!!

chill dude

Well we all need these tracking device in our cars. But it’s better to call the police and follow the stolen car at a safe distance without being seen, still you will know where it’s going to be and arrive with cops. Don’t cause an accident or another person death by chasing it. 🤦🏼‍♀️

AirTags would have been cool in the early 2000s with all the spy movies showing small tracking devices placed underneath vehicles. Now I’m not even impressed with a spy watch aka the Apple Watch.

I agree with David below! They "advise" not doing this, but the other option is to never see your truck again!

Robert is a legend

Suggestion: Don't leave your keys in your vehicle...especially when it is unlocked.

You should be able to shoot a thief dead for taking your property if you catch them. It would have ended that chase much quicker and ensured he never took something that didn’t belong to him again since he’d be dead! I HATE thieves!!!

You just watched an Apple commercial.

Cops also hit you with a " call it in" when your car has just been literally stolen couple of minutes ago and they show up hours latet to take the report

Sure it’s risky, but unless your vehicle is worth more than $300,000 the police in the Democratic People’s Republic of California won’t do anything about it.

QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Mt. 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there's good news. Though we broke God's Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (Jn. 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Eph. 2:8,9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized.

God is going to bless you for coming through this kid

That was a good apple commercial it looked so real. Now that’s great advertising

yeah and if the dude hadn't done anything and waited for the cops he'd have never seen his truck again. good on him for being a man and taking matters into his own hands.

Gotta protect you truck 💪

This is why I have a Ravelco installed in work van. You can try to hot wire etc & it won't go anywhere. It is a very good investment

Good for him for getting his property back. I think he is a smart man and if his gut told him he was going to get hurt. He would have backed off. Public safety can only due so much and helping someone to get there stolen property back is not a priority.

Good for him!
