A California woman tired of packages being stolen from her post office mailbox mailed herself an Apple AirTag to track the thieves. That's according to officials Tuesday, who arrested the two suspects after the woman's mail was stolen again.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — A Southern California woman fed up with her packages getting stolen out of her post office box sent an Apple AirTag to the address and cleverly tracked down the suspected thief, police said.
On Monday morning, sheriff’s deputies were called to the post office for a report of mail theft. When they arrived, the woman told officials her mail had been stolen again — including the package with the AirTag. They located the package with the AirTag among the victim’s mail, as well as items believed to have been stolen from more than a dozen other people. The woman declined to be identified, the sheriff’s department said.
