We need more of this:

Texas man uses Apple Airtag to track down stolen truck, then shoots, kills suspect: police

If the thieves think someone may come gunning for them, they\'ll stop. Nothing less works on that mentality.

Then there was this fool- what did he think they would do, be ashamed and say they\'re sorry. Be armed or don\'t confront anyone.

That is a satisfying outcome but I don\'t think that tracking down and
killing the suspect yourself would be legal even in Texas.

I know it is not legal here in Washington... But maybe Texas has a
track and kill clause
