when London Police Wouldn ' T restore the stolen car, despite the fact that the Airtag that gives its location says that they tracked it and stole it for themselves.
a couple in London was lucky in many ways, starting with how their car was nine minutes and MDash; When previously stolen vehicles surfaced around the world. But, according to BBC News, they were also unlucky in the answer that they received from the metropolitan police.
When Mia Forbs Piri and her husband Mark Simpson from Hammersmith found that their care for Jaguar E-Pace disappeared for $ 57,000, they called the police. According to reports, they received only what they called a “vague” answer that they perhaps sent a patrol car, and probably told them that they would ever find something.
it seemed that it did not matter that the car had ARTAG in it, and therefore Forbes Pirie was able to tell the police where it was. Therefore, the couple decided to return the car themselves.
“I wanted to act quite quickly, because I am afraid that we will find ARTAG, not the car, when it was thrown outside without a car,” said Forbes Pirie, “so I told them that we plan to go to the place.”
, the police response was that the couple should call them again if they need help at the scene.
“It was a little as an adventure, it was exciting, a little interesting to do to see if we could find our car,” continued Forbes Pirie. “I did not think that car thieves would hurt us, more that they would try to leave.”
it is unclear why the couple thought that the tracking of thieves was a safe move, but they found that the car was parked in a number without signs of thieves.
these thieves managed to get around the immobilizer, which was supplied with the car. In the end, they were torn off because the couple installed their own second immobilizer.
The couple describes what they did, how to steal the car back, because by irony of fate they could not just run it and leave & mdash; BecAuse of the Same Immobilizer. They had to contact the automobile company and prove possession before it was unlocked for them.
“I think that I thought the police would act faster, given that they have a place for this, but I know that they were also very stretched,” concluded Forbes Pirie.
now often discovers that car owners added ARTAGS to their vehicles and, therefore, were able to find where they were taken. But for personal security reasons Apple, Appleinsider and many law enforcement agencies and MDash; With the exception, in the same way, the London metropolitan police and MDash; Uponly advise against this.
