Obando and his wife tracked the car until the Airtag froze, but it 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.“That’s a Bimmer, that’s a Bimmer… boom! I’m going to park this one somewhere and get the other one tomorrow,” said the suspect.
After confronting the man, Obando said he found the man's wallet with his driver's license inside. When he checked the address on the license, Obando discovered it was a neighbor.
