Athlete Tracks Down Snatch Thief Who Stole Her iPhone With ‘Find My’ Feature

I thought about forgetting the phone (…) as it’s just an old one and (riding) back home to erase the phone’s data from my iCloud. “But then, something went through my mind; if I don’t do anything now, I might have to go through this again and other cyclists might be in trouble too if the culprit is still out there roaming around,” she said.

She later lodged a police report and notified the police that her iPhone was trackable.

“I showed them that I was tracking my iPhone with the Find Devices app on my Apple Watch Ultra 2, which was displaying the distance as well as the location address,” Chrissy said.

Accompanied by seven policemen, she tracked her iPhone to the phone’s location shown on the Apple Watch map, which uses the Find My network.

“The police detained him at a house as we arrived at the location and they managed to retrieve my iPhone,” she said.
