Leftover Christmas present helps Leeds man get stolen car back in an hour

A quick-thinking Leeds scaffolder has tracked down his stolen truck in an hour - thanks to a tiny Christmas present tucked away inside the door pocket.

The tracking device uses Bluetooth to track different objects such as keys, wallets, purses, vehicles and luggage. Paul then jumped into his car and within an hour had tracked the vehicle in Bradford, around five miles from his house in Farsley.He said: "I started shaking, I couldn't believe it as the car is my pride and joy. I was just sat there shaking and I remembered I had the AirTag in my car so I went onto the app and saw it heading out of Leeds and into Bradford.

Paul's wife Angela gifted him the AirTag as a Christmas present in 2022 knowing how much he loves his truck. He thought he would only use it to locate his vehicle in a car park, as he 'never thought' it would get stolen. Paul's worker left the keys in his car so he doesn't think the theft would have been covered by his insurance, which means it would have cost him around £7,000. He's now telling other drivers to put one in their vehicles, in case the same thing happens.
