Cops found my stolen motorcycle in one piece. The idiot rode it to work. Took a while to clean the all the dread juice off, but other than that I can't complain.
What you want the police to magically stop the car thevie right there and then? It's not that simply and things could really have ended badly for someone.
Not true. They will call you when it's found charred 30 miles away in an empty field. No prints, no camera reviews, and a contact card to use with your insurance to file the claim. Bye-bye have a great day.
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.
Disagree. Don't put your life at risk. I would like trail far behind, since the locator is working. So wait till he stops completely at the place he's going than call cops
My guy....He had an airtag. It would've been MUCH more effective to give that info to the police that way instead of him running away he is much more likely to see the inside of a jail.
I agree with the original comment, just be safe. Remember they might have a weapon so you risk your own life (can't blame you) and property but kudos to that guy for tracking their own vehicle. On side note on tracking, he had live GPS coordinates. Just lay back and watch and wait. I mean seriously, you have the keys. Just take it back from him if the police you call do nothing. In this day and age just make the thief famous by posting it on some social media site. Make sure you get the face of this robber for his 15 seconds of fame
Still should be illegal because it's using others phones for access without consent of connection. I hate the idea of them. I'd rather use a legitimate GPS tracker.

Had a car stolen from me a year ago, found it because there was airpods inside it. Cops didn't bother sending out anyone. Lesson learned, get your stuff safely
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
It’s a car. He saw an opportunity to play cop and he took advantage of it. “It was a 30 minute chase of this guy” I’m am 100% sure he was told to stop following the vehicle. There’s no state in the country that would allow a citizen to have a 30 minute car chase with a criminal suspect.
He has an air tag on it. Why chase it. Just wait for the vehicle to stop at the suspect’s home and then give the address to the authorities. Someone could’ve gotten hurt in this chase.
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
Lucky they even did that....I called the police when a guy side swiped me. They showed up and said "Sorry we didn't witness the accident so we can't make a accident report."
Beat cops don't typically check security cameras. Detectives usually do that after police make a report. Maybe your dad should have asked the police about it and they would have explained it to him instead of assuming.
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. 🔪⚰️
*"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.

“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.
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.
I like that idea. Is to hide it in an incospicuous part of your car. Like behind the glovebox cover or inside a removable cup holder in the dodge ram pickups.

"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.
This is why you report your car stolen and let them recover it, you don't have to take it back who knows what was done to it or drug residue in it or anything and the plates they would cover on your insurance

Yeah because most likely it’s in a business parking lot, if you did donuts on your property they wouldn’t care, but they have to protect the business that’s all that matters.
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.
For real 😂 I had called the cops a week ago and they literally had a voicemail saying the next agent will be with you in a moment and I was calling 911
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.
@@wolfgamingnetwork3542 do the actual authorities have superpowers or something? What more can they do then get this man his truck back? Can they immediately teleport there and get him his truck?
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.
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 😂
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
@@randallsmerna384 LOL not every relationship is like that. Definitely not mine. I have enough trust in my partner. My partner is more worried about their car being stolen so they can have it just hooked up to their phone. I don’t need to stalk 😂
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. 🤦🏼♀️
In the 90's and 2000's more Stolen Vehicles were located by cab drivers than police. Infact as a REPO agent when we look for a car we would offer rewards to cabbies and gas station attendants. I can't tell you how many REPO's the cops were called on us and they never bothered to show up.

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

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.
Cops would rather find your car abandoned , impound it and sell it at their auction.San Diego tried that with my Phoenix friend. They were very disappointed when my friend showed up to claim it. They only had it a week and it was already listed for auction.
I love it, dispatched warned me too, I said no need to warn me, I'm certified State Trooper and Army SF Airborne Ranger veteran. I'll do my part and you do yours, without me in the chase he won't get caught and will victimize someone else. I was a teacher at the law enforcement academy teaching guys to be safe and not get harmed and especially don't harm someone else, get them on the ground without shooting, stay in shape and put your weight if he is bigger anywhere on his upper body to hold him but at the same time be responsible to give him first aid at all time once in custody. Somewhere my teaching have been misguided and translated and not dept wants to take responsibility for the training by saying we never taught you to put a knee to the shoulder, neck or head when they really did.
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
I'm amazed how these thieves will steal your truck then just drive around like it's theirs. I saw one story where the thief actually had the sound system upgraded and had the car serviced. Crazy

You don't need an airtag to track a car down.
@@mikejames6588 then what you need? Don’t try be a smart as here. This video literally talks about he was able to use the airtag to track it down and your saying you don’t need one ???
@@pnwrap925 I don’t think he’s trying to be smart. You simply don’t. A lot of cars have GPS built into them now
@@pnwrap925 it's still a very dangerous tool used to stock people
@@mikejames6588 it takes weeks months sometimes to track vehicles this is a time saver
If it isn't yours, leave it alone.
Device is good, but the best is put in jail the thief 5 years in prison, they will think twice before stealing a vehicle.
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.
Yep but someone calls in a guy doin donuts. Cops will be there in 5 mins ot less
Yeah because most likely it’s in a business parking lot, if you did donuts on your property they wouldn’t care, but they have to protect the business that’s all that matters.
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.
For real 😂 I had called the cops a week ago and they literally had a voicemail saying the next agent will be with you in a moment and I was calling 911
Or get a 9mm and end that pathetic criminal for good so they won’t ever steal someone’s car ever
Forgot about vm!😂
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.
what...? this sentence doesn't even make sense.
@@steve4718 Think.
Ah yes pursue the truck causing the person who stole it to run putting more people at risk
Or let the actual authorities find it
@@wolfgamingnetwork3542 or the guy can jump out with a weapon and fill you full of holes.
@@wolfgamingnetwork3542 do the actual authorities have superpowers or something? What more can they do then get this man his truck back? Can they immediately teleport there and get him his truck?
Plot twist. Dude never had his truck stolen and this is just a dramatic apple tag commercial.
YOU GOTTA DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO DON'T WAIT ON NOBODY
"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)😭😂
Because they were all at a LGBTQRST rally...
Maybe there weren't that many units in the area
@@TheMorningDawnTMD either way they need to send atleast one officer in to make sure that civilian doesnt lose his life, its common sense 🤷♂️
police :“let your insurance handle it”
insurance: “let the police handle it”
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.
No way wow
Yeah,this never happened
@@Blood0ftyrantsand what makes you think of that? Assuming much?
Wipers? wtf
It’s only “dangerous” if you can’t handle such a pursuit.
"Don't take the matter into your own hands" yet wouldn't do a damn thing about it, glad he got his truck back
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 😂
Sure, save a bank being robbed yourself, see how that goes
Ok the device is very helpful in the right hands. Remember people were victimized or followed by the exact same device
Yes and the nice thing is if you do have an apple device and there’s an unregistered airtag nearby for an unusual ammount of time it tells you.
Okay boomer headass
Police: hey don't take matters into your own hands
Police: we'll try to get on it next month.
Leaving a car/truck unlocked in CALIFORNIA. 😂
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.
This day in age everybody's taking matters into their own hands and cops won't do anything nowadays they're too lazy
More like they don’t want to be harassed because when they do take action it’s looked down upon now
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.
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.
Seriously thief this is outrageous unbelievable
Apple 🍎: “ have you ever had your car stolen?” (AIRTAG) 😂

That is why you carry a gun.
But they never mentioned what happened to the thief or how he stole it in the first place
It’s California . Nothings going to happen to him lol .
They probably will make a statue of him and write folk songs about him. That is how it is going these days.
@@Greghh1960 lmao
Have you seen gas prices in California? He didn’t want to pay for gas so he stole someone’s truck to use their gas 😂
@@Greghh1960 CBLM
His voice sounds like it needs some lotion 🧴
All I see is a lot of people making a lot of assumptions.
If someone stole my truck it wouldn’t be dangerous for me it’d be dangerous for him when i catch him
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.
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!!!
Put it in the catalytic converter
make sure you tell him first before he freaks out
Yeah, that's called stalking...
@@texazmade713 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@randallsmerna384 LOL not every relationship is like that. Definitely not mine. I have enough trust in my partner. My partner is more worried about their car being stolen so they can have it just hooked up to their phone. I don’t need to stalk 😂
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. 🤦🏼♀️
The cop was not doing anything
SAFE, SAFE, SAFE!!!! We just can't be SAFE enough today, can we??
In the 90's and 2000's more Stolen Vehicles were located by cab drivers than police. Infact as a REPO agent when we look for a car we would offer rewards to cabbies and gas station attendants. I can't tell you how many REPO's the cops were called on us and they never bothered to show up.
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
Well, I really hope this turned out well but I am sure it didn't.
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.
Plus a ticket for talking on his cell phone while driving.
@@ShastaBean right!
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.
What state you from? Somewhere in theauthoritarian draconian south.
@@Michael-dy7zp i know right,felony for doing donuts in a parking lot? someone listens to fox news alot,and audio with exhaust ,the name says it all, femboy furry, who thinks he is clever with his name and making the dumbest possible lies and thinking he is soooo cool LOL
Damm, now next time the thief will know where to look for the air tag if he ever steal ur truck again! 😂😂
I said the same thing lol
I love how the guy takes matters into his own hands with the AirTags. There's no need to call the police.
Be careful someone can duct tape an apple tag underneath your car just as easily and track it to your house to rob while you’re gone
this is why you regularly pre-trip(inspect)your cars,nobody seems to do it whatsoever.
Especially if it’s a sports/ luxury vehicle
Suggestion: Don't leave your keys in your vehicle...especially when it is unlocked.
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.
That sounds terrible but I do know, when God created man... she was only joking 🤭
Take your UA-cam evangelism elsewhere with you, deep into where the sun don't shine.
That’s not just a truck, that’s his means of making a living.
Cops would rather find your car abandoned , impound it and sell it at their auction.San Diego tried that with my Phoenix friend. They were very disappointed when my friend showed up to claim it. They only had it a week and it was already listed for auction.
Giving the whole new meaning to free advertisement. That's definitely one hell of a device.
"This guy is driving my truck man" made me laugh for whatever reason
He sounds like that sponge bob uncle person who thought SpongeBob wanted to paint his fence and mow the lawn
No ones talking about how the real hero is the person who gave him the air tag
Best AirTag commercial ever. I’m going to buy one.
I love it, dispatched warned me too, I said no need to warn me, I'm certified State Trooper and Army SF Airborne Ranger veteran. I'll do my part and you do yours, without me in the chase he won't get caught and will victimize someone else. I was a teacher at the law enforcement academy teaching guys to be safe and not get harmed and especially don't harm someone else, get them on the ground without shooting, stay in shape and put your weight if he is bigger anywhere on his upper body to hold him but at the same time be responsible to give him first aid at all time once in custody. Somewhere my teaching have been misguided and translated and not dept wants to take responsibility for the training by saying we never taught you to put a knee to the shoulder, neck or head when they really did.
Apple shares just went up
People need a heat resistant version to put on the catalytic converters 😂 LOL
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
I'm amazed how these thieves will steal your truck then just drive around like it's theirs. I saw one story where the thief actually had the sound system upgraded and had the car serviced. Crazy
Came here after my handbag was stolen. I had a new airtag but didn't use it, wish I did, now I have to replace all the locks in my house and replace like 7 different cards including debit and credit cards. It costs $2000 to change all the outside locks 😢
U need to take matters into your own hands armed n ready to go …police can only help soo much but if that guy totaled your truck in a pursuit u lose no matter what
I really like this guy, he was 💯 percent right to go after his truck, when do the cops ever find your property?
Thanks Inside Edition, this video just helped every thief to look around the vehicle for a possible AirTag 😅
30 minute chase while on the phone with police. 30 minutes ? WTH 30 minutes? Should've been 10 or less.
Cops probably arrested the truck owner for speeding and dangerous driving.
Man is lucky to be safe and getting his truck back
This is going to be the best commercial for Apple car tracker
It didn't all work out because the thief wasn't killed.
Anyone who touches a person's work truck is asking for it. Its usually their livelihood so stealing it would be equivalent of trying to kill them
@corey Babcockand why would that fact stop a victim of crime from being upset?
really stupid thing to do
high chance that he might have a gun and willing to shoot to get out of pursuit
Good thing there's a long video of 3 seconds worth of footage. That's quality reporting there.
They pushed for no police last 5 years. They can’t put to much on here! The biased left
