How ‘Find My Phone’ Helped a Man Retrieve His Stolen Car on Christmas Day

A steal car . The iPhone ’s “ discover My Phone ” feature of speech and a high-pitched - technical school , gamy - upper Salmon Portland Chase . A daring escape from the police force . A transonic fast food restaurant . This story has it all ! And it all went down on Christmas Day .

Here ’s the storya lector recite to 9to5Mac :

Pretty amazing Christmas Story ! Early this morning my 2005 Land Rover was stolen from the Marriott in Wichita Falls TX . The local police force put me on hold , transfer me around and did nothing . My iPhone was in the car in between the seat and turned on . I tracked it using MobileMe Find My Phone to HWY 287 on the way to Decatur . When they exited the main road and headed on a Farm road for Justin TX a few mile away , I contacted the Justin Police and with the help of a very savvy hustler we nail the elevator car at a Sonic . While I was on the earphone with her , she said the police officer sees your car and is going to make the stay . A few transactions later she madly call in me to start tracking the car again . The officer had handcuff the defendant , sat one down on the curb while put the other in the back rear . When he got back , the hombre had Houdini’d the cuffs from behind his back to the front , fought with the military officer and jumped in my car , dragged him and feed over him . I followed the car on the iPhone and point the Highway Patrol to where he was – gamy speed chase ending with him flipping the Land Rover several times . The policeman is going to be hunky-dory – he is at the hospital with multiple bruises etc . The screenshot is where the motorcar stealer move over the policeman and escaped . I am just so thankful the policeman was not seriously pain – I could care less about the car or the crook .
