This morning I noticed a dry patch on the ground under where my 2011 Land Cruiser, Apocalypse One, was supposed to be, plus some pieces of the driver side door lock. I was a little upset but to skip to the end, less than an hour and a half later I've got it back. I recommend hiding a AirTag in your car!
The thieves had pulled out phone charger cords and topped off their phones, otherwise leaving almost everything else alone, except that they removed the plastic covers from behind the rear view mirror and disconnected the two connectors there (nondestructively, happily).
Anybody have any idea why they did that?
That's my question, but if you're interested, more backstory: The Seattle PD got back to me pretty quick about this and since I was able to tell them where it was, they got to it while I was on the way there with my buddy, and they waited for me to get there. They said a lot of stolen cars get ditched there by the local miscreants (Pasadena Pl NE). They left the right passenger window down and the heater on 80 degrees. I have no idea how they started the car. Some sort of tech hack I suppose.
