A traveller whose £3,000 luggage was stolen from Atlanta Airport baggage claim tracked down the thief using an Apple AirTag - only to find the crook wearing his stolen clothes, even his SOCKS.
Jameel Reid had slipped the tracker into his bag along with $3,000 worth of his belongings while packing for his trip.
But when the flight landed at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and Mr Reid went to pick up his bag, it was gone.
Remembering the tag, Reid pulled out his phone and tracked it to downtown Atlanta, miles from the airport.
He was later able to give police the exact location of bag who swooped in to catch the thief.
Reid said the the thief "had my shirt on, my jeans, and my socks."
Explaining the whole incident to Good Morning in America, Reid explained he often kept an AirTag in his luggage, saying: "I just had it in my luggage, cause just knew that I would probably need it one day.
"I pulled out my phone, and it was showing that it was at Grady Memorial Hospital. I was looking at it for a couple minutes and it's still saying Grady."
"I'm like okay this is not looking too good, I'm starting to get a little nervous."
Mr Reid later shared a picture of his bag after it was recovered. The contents appeared to have been rummaged through.
Apple AirTags work by emitting a Bluetooth signal that anonymously connects to any nearby device active within Apple’s network.
Using the strength of the signal and clever maths the device can then track down the AirTag which is uploaded to the internet and pinned on a map.
