The woman had had several items stolen from her mailbox at the Los Alamos Post Office already when she thought of the idea, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday. Law enforcement tracked the AirTag to a block in Santa Maria, about 16 miles (26 kilometers) from the post office and arrested two suspects — a 27-year-old woman from Santa Maria and a 37-year-old man from Riverside.
The most shocking part of this story?
The cops actually did their fucking jobs and went to catch the perpetrators.
The vast majority of the time they tell you to fill out a police report and go fuck yourself.
And they don’t seem to have killed anyone
Unironically asking: do we know if the package thieves were white?
It’s sad, but it’s probably relevant for your statement.
And it takes them 6 months to even acknowledge the police report exists after you submit a FOIA request for it, but shipping insurance requires it to pay you anything.
Take a guess what my experience has been
Shameful she has to do this. USPS used to take mail theft seriously.
they still do, i’m sure. just too many occurrences to properly deal with and not enough funding to go around.
