A New Orleans woman used an Apple AirTag to find a stolen wallet and then confronted the alleged thief, police said.

The New Orleans Police Department says the victim’s wallet was stolen on February 23rd, adding that the wallet contained an Apple AirTag.

Officials say the victim’s AirTag told her that the wallet was moving around 8:45 pm and she decided to go and find it.

AirTag tracking led the victim to a parking lot at the 4100 block of South Carrollton Avenue, where she collided with the car’s driver, Diamond Williams, with what was believed to be a wallet inside.
