A Washington, D.C. family was featured in a recent ABC7 News after having their car stolen. Fortunately for them, there were several AirTag devices hidden. Sean Setter said in an interview that a man came up to him as he was unloading and revealed a gun, then demanded the keys and sped away with the family car.

Police were quickly able to find the vehicle but not after getting involved in a shootout.
