The St. Louis County Parks Department’s purchase of a $56,000 TimberKing Sawmill led to the discovery of a multi-county theft operation. Despite efforts to secure the sawmill, it was eventually stolen, and a tracking device placed on it failed to locate its whereabouts. However, months later, the tracking device was activated when the sawmill was sold to a man in Hawk Point who owned an iPhone. This led authorities to uncover a stolen property operation involving other equipment worth six figures.
The use of a simple $20 AirTag tracker played a crucial role in solving the case. This incident highlights the importance of taking extra steps to ensure the safety of valuable items. To prevent theft and protect possessions, individuals can consider using GPS trackers, setting up mobile alerts for unusual activity on accounts, and storing valuable items in secure locations.
By following the parks department’s lead in safeguarding valuable possessions, individuals can better protect themselves against theft and potentially recover stolen items. This story serves as a reminder of the importance of taking proactive measures to secure valuable belongings.
