The alleged thief wasn’t aware that the vehicle was being tracked, officials said.
Authorities found several bullet casings and two cars with their windows shot out.
Officials are determining if the suspect will be charged in the fatal shooting.
AirTag was designed to help people locate their personal belongings, not to track people or another person’s property, and we condemn in the strongest possible terms any malicious use of our products.

Cops probably refused to take action to help him. So he had to take action himself.

Three things you don't mess with:
1. A man's wife
2. A man's dog
3. A man's truck.

Out legal system is a joke run by criminals and idiots and vigilante justice is the only replacement. God bless this man for giving a criminal his just dessert.

If old Dragnet episodes can be believed, car thieves in California could get 1 to 10 at San Quentin.
The entire point of a justice system is to circumvent things like this. But if the justice system breaks down, then every offense is a Capital offense. Thanks a lot to the “liberals” who like to set the clock back 1000 years.

Well, it is true that the only good thief is a dead thief so this really is a feel-good story. Too bad the DA is a prick. Some things are justifiable.

It depends if they track the cat to some other person’s house to kill them.

Looks to me that it worked out just fine.
To: DUMBGRUNT
Seems to me this story is primarily about malicious AirTag use, with the mention of a fatal shooting.

A man's truck is his palace. Do NOT mess with it. Just like being a horse thief in the old days. Penalty should be the same.

By "it's never safe" he's not talking about being injured by the criminal, rther about being persecuted by the government.

"AirTag was designed to help people locate their personal belongings, not to track people or another person’s property, and we condemn in the strongest possible terms any malicious use of our products. That is Apple’s response." I'd bet just about anything that those same spokespersons at Apple fully support holding firearm manufacturers liable for misuse of their products.
