Calgary contractor uses AirTags to recover stolen construction materials

Pierre Dumont owns Pierrefect Contracting Inc. He says AirTags helped him track down stolen items this week.

He was on his way to work Wednesday when he opened his phone and noticed three of the tags were at a house near Falconridge — nowhere close to his current job site. Dumont called his coworker to meet him with a trailer at the address listed. Dumont recorded the incident and later posted the video to social media. He also called Calgary police.

Police have not said whether charges are pending or confirmed the names of the parties involved, citing the ongoing investigation.Asked to weigh in on Dumont's strategy of using AirTags to track down stolen items, Calgary police declined to comment but encouraged people to keep documentation, such as photos and serial numbers, of their possessions and to report thefts to police.

Glad he got his rightful goods back but I would be incensed if you knocked on my door and accused me of having your stuff (which is what it sounds like he did with the first door he knocked on).

Many thieves! Housemates would steal can opener, Glad containers, small pot lid, small chopping board, E Taylor Cleopatra Barbie doll, winter leather jacket, Grade 13 Biology textbook, plastic microwave food cover, spices, etc. I took a year off after HS to earn $. They’d steal

Canadian does not lock the front door.

Now that’s a useful thing to do with AirTags!

And the thief hasn’t been arrested.

That's great contractors can use the same technology car thieves use. Apple is a great product!

Even if you find or track the stolen items the RCMP is not going to react until Lucki, Trudeau and Blair give the nod- we need our own Alberta PP-

You need to take responsibility for your own safety and property. The Calgary Police Service are completely useless.
