Reddit hunts down streamer's stolen 'dream car', finds man who demands $10k

&gt;Unable to get the cops to come and lend a hand, they decided to just use their own van key and take it back themselves.<p>At least they were able to get help from the LAPD the next day which, frankly, is still the most unbelievable part of the story. I&#x27;m curious how they got anyone to agree to show up to help retrieve 5.5k of stolen property. Does being a famous twitch streamer help? As another resident of California who had previously gotten zero help from the police retrieving a stolen laptop I could GPS trace to a specific address, I would appreciate knowing the tips &amp; tricks.

If somebody hasn’t come off the high of tracking down criminals and wants a bigger challenge, the guardian football weekly’s Max Rushden has had his car stolen in Australia [0]. A bit less recognizable though, from what i hear.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Max_Rushden" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Max_Rushden</a>

Wonder why people don&#x27;t insert AirTags deep inside costly stuff more often, like cars, bikes, luggages

Did those redditors get the right person this time? Judging by the other comments I guess so.

How about giving him a punch in the face? Someone steals my car and I catch them for sure they are ain&#x27;t getting a unicorn!
