Sounds like the police were not aware of the tech in use and figured it was a lost cause like most theft.

- MattGaiser 5y agoIs the average cop that old?
- spideymans 5y agoI'd wager the average person has no idea what an AirTag is.
- varajelle 5y agoI had no idea before seeing this thread. I had to look it up.
- dzhiurgis 5y agoSurely average cop should be at least somewhat above average person.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoThe organization that fought for the right to refuse to hire people above a certain IQ cutoff?
- joshstrange 5y agoNah, Cops are useless even for things that are a decade old like Find My iPhone, they simply won't help even if you can give them the exact lat/long or address. I've dealt with cops when helping a friend who was being harassed (literal 100s of calls/texts a day from known burner apps) as well as physical damage to his car. The police did nothing at all, even with a step-by-step guide provided by said burner number apps for law enforcement (abuse@$burnerAppCompany.com). In the end we had to keep pressing the various app's support until they would blacklist my friends number completely from their app network. It was a huge PITA and made my friend's phone almost unusable (they would rotate numbers if he blocked them). Oh, and we knew exactly who was responsible, this wasn't even a "here is a lat/long" situation. The police are fucking worthless for things like this and from what I've heard from friends about their experience with stolen property they are useless on that front as well.
- SilverRed 5y agoOn the other end I have seen stories of cops showing up at someones house insisting they have someones macbook because find my said so when in reality it was the house next door. I can understand why they would be hesitant when the find my data is not pin point accurate.
