He added: \u201cI noticed it was not in the terminal, but it was moving towards (the taxi rank) and leaving the airport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>&#8220;So I immediately started running towards the Uber lot. Once I got to the Uber lot I saw him continue to move forward and get across the street.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Luckily, Daniel was reasonably fit and managed to keep pace with the tracker thanks to his AirTag as it was driven to an abandoned structure about half a mile from the airport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Meanwhile, Daniel&#8217;s partner contacted the police and informed them about the theft. Daniel remained outside the structure, keeping track of the AirTag&#8217;s location until authorities arrived.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>The officers directed their torches into the windows of the abandoned building, and demanded the thieves surrender.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>This was the moment when Daniel got a surprising shock. He recalled: &#8220;We saw some movement in the building and then when people came to the window \u2013 they made them stand in the window \u2013 I saw the guy wearing my clothes. He was wearing my shoes. He was wearing my shirt and my pants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Police caught several people at the scene, and once they verified that the crime scene was secure, officers allowed Daniel into the building to search for his suitcase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Eventually he found it, but it was unlocked and its belongings scattered on the dirty floor. He said: &#8220;It&#8217;s a huge building and my clothes are scattered across many different rooms in it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>He says he has recovered most of his property, but emphasizes that if the same situation happens to anyone else, they should always wait for the police to arrive rather than trying to confront the thieves themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-description\">\n<p>Daniel says the whole ordeal was &#8220;crazy&#8221;, noting that he was &#8220;so happy&#8221; to get his stuff back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Scott was stunned when he saw the criminal (Image: NBCLA) Owners of Apple&#8217;s AirTags \u2013 a coin-sized compact device, equipped with a powerful tracking chip \u2013 have discovered a myriad of uses for them.
