Fed-up California woman catches mail thieves by sending herself an Apple AirTag

Patrick Reilly  |  Aug. 20, 2024  |  9:47 p.m. ET


A California woman who was sick of repeatedly losing her mail to thieves helped police nab two offenders after she cleverly mailed herself an Apple AirTag

The unidentified woman kept a mailbox at the Los Alamos Post Office in the Santa Maria Valley and had been the victim of mail theft on several occasions, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office.

Police responded to the post office on Tuesday around 7:15 a.m. after the woman reported the latest theft. She told police she had mailed herself a package that included a small Apple AirTag device that she was able to track.

Cops quickly located the two suspects in Santa Maria, who were found with the victim’s mail — including the package with the AirTag.  .  .

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Fart spray... That made me happy. That stink won't come out of the carpet for a long, long time.  :silly:

Did I ever tell all y'all about fart rocks?

Back in my hot-rodding days a friend and i ran across a curious object...

It was a sulphur block, which was as porous as a sponge, but incredibly brittle, used I guess, for cleaning industrial grills and griddles.

Now, properly protected by plastic and a respirator, we found we could cut that block - about the size of a brick - into a size comparable to a sugar cube, each 'brick' yielding dozens of the little cubes, and the bricks readily obtained as a discardable from any restaurant with a grill.

The thing is, see, these little cubes were very brittle, and could easily be crushed between the fingers... And when crushed, emanated the foulest smell you have ever even thought of in your whole life. I mean this is world class fart-stink.

So being thus armed, the fun was to go down to main street, and climb in with somebody cruisin main... have a beer or two with em... and then somewhere along the way, surreptitiously drop a cube on the carpet and grind it to dust with your heel.

Oh, what fun.... Slammed on brakes, and everybody in the car exiting, right between lights even... Gagging and barfing... It was awesome.

We gave it up though... Folks had to tear their carpet out to get rid of the smell, and no matter how well you cleaned it up, any rain, when moisture hit the floorboard, it came back... not full on mind you, but you still couldn't stand to be in the car till it dried back out.

Truly one of our best pranks ever.

I wish I had known that at age 16.

I have never heard of a fart rock but I had a pet rock once upon a time.
