Yup. My buddy owned a hellcat. That’s a $90k car, with like 800 horsepower. It was stolen. He had an AirTag under the seat, giving him detailed location data. He was on the phone with 911, and they were refusing to do anything about it. Told him to come down to the station and file a police report.

Then he mentioned his handgun was under the seat. Cops were on the scene in less than 2 minutes, with guns drawn.
