Texas man tracks down his stolen truck using an Apple AirTag, shoots and kills the thief.

As you know, there's been a mass migration of Californians to Texas over the past couple of years, but there's something these Californians need to keep in mind before moving to the Lone Star state.

Texas ain't California!

Let's look at just one example: car theft is such a common occurrence in California that people in San Francisco just leave their cars open, so the thieves won't damage the vehicles while robbing them.

"Insurance will take care of it," they think.

And all I can say to that is "thanks for helping raise all our insurance rates, 30% over the last couple of years."

However, stealing a car in Texas goes down a little different.

Case in point:

A car thief stole a truck in San Antonio, Texas.

The owner called the police and reported his stolen truck, but stolen vehicles are not ever that high on the list of police priorities, so the owner tracked down his truck himself with an Apple AirTag he had left in it.

What happened next shows the big difference between Texas and the Leftist states.

Police said that when they arrived, they found several bullets in the truck and one dead thief.

Not that we condone vigilante violence in Texas.

One of the interviewed offices, Nick Soliz, even said "If you are to get your vehicle stolen, please do not take matters into your own hands like this. It's never safe as you can see by this incident."

It's just that, in the land of Texas justice, officials haven't even decided if they're going to charge the owner in the shooting--I mean you can't just steal a man's truck and not expect to get shot.

Californian-based company, Apple, was horrified that its products had been used in forever ending the career of a car thief.

A spokesperson said,

"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. Unwanted tracking has long been a societal problem, and we took this concern seriously in the design of AirTag. It's why the Find My network is built with privacy in mind, uses end-to-end encryption, and why we innovated with the first-ever proactive system to alert you of unwanted tracking. We hope this starts an industry trend for others to also provide these sorts of proactive warnings in their products."

Maybe the perpetrator's family should sue them for their role in his abrupt end?

They could probably win in a Californian court.
