TORRANCE, Calif. -- A California man was forced to get innovative tracking down his stolen car by pinpointing the location of his iPad, which was inside the car. He then bombarded music shops across the region until he recovered thousands of dollars worth of stolen gear.
Oliveira says a kind friend was letting him borrow their car and a guitar so he could start performing, but that Monday night, he parked the car in his apartment's gated garage after a gig, and left the equipment in the car so he could put his kids to bed upstairs. Oliveira reviewed his apartment's surveillance footage, and found a man and woman who he says stole the car."He was like, 'is there any tracking device in the car that we can go?' and I was like, 'no, there's no tracking device that I know of,' and then I went, 'oh!' And it clicked, my iPad was in the car," Oliveira said.
He says that he contacted Guitar Center headquarters where he inquired about his speaker, which he says was worth more than $1,000. "Torrance detectives continued their investigation to identify the suspect, and were notified by the Guitar Center later that day that a suspect was trying to sell some more of the stolen musical equipment," said the Torrance Police Department in a statement to Eyewitness News."To assist, LASD deputies responded and detained the possible suspect."
