New York Police Department Encourages Car Owners to Use AirTags to Deter Theft, 500 Free AirTags Available
In a tweet shared over the weekend, the NYPD said that “the 21st century calls for 21st century policing,” and that an AirTag in a car will help officers recover a car if it is stolen. An accompanying video instructs car owners to get an AirTag and install it in a location in the vehicle where it can’t easily be found.
The video then demonstrates a car theft where the owner uses the Find My app to track the car, with the tracking information relayed to the police. Officers find the car thanks to the AirTag and are able to recover the vehicle and arrest the thief.
The 21st century calls for 21st century policing. AirTags in your car will help us recover your vehicle if it’s stolen. We’ll use our drones, our StarChase technology & good old fashion police work to safely recover your stolen car. Help us help you, get an AirTag. #GSD pic.twitter.com/fTfk8p4lye

“Safe guard your car by simply putting an Apple AirTag inside of it,” the NYPD writes at the end of the video. The AirTag initiative comes after a viral TikTok car theft video that caused an uptick in thefts across the United States. In the TikTok, thieves demonstrate how to get into Hyundai and Kia vehicles through an easily accessible exploit.
In an accompanying press conference on Sunday, New York City mayor Eric Adams said that the city will provide 500 free AirTags to car owners. According to CBS News, the AirTags are available to residents in Castle Hill, Soundview, and Parkchester, as these areas have seen a 548 percent increase in stolen Hyundai and Kia vehicles.

Wild Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning CinemaCon Footage Shows Surprisingly Funny Car Chase
Though none of the cast or crew of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One was around for Paramount’s presentation at CinemaCon on Thursday, attendees were treated to quite a surprise anyway: a 20-minute chunk of the movie.
We should stress, however, that this is not the opening sequence of the film. And so be warned: The descriptions of the clips below could contain spoilers for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.
The sequence began with Hayley Atwell’s character, Grace, being held in a police interrogation room and questioned about her identity. She claims to be a school teacher. (She isn’t.) Fortunately for her, Ethan Hunt is pretending to be her lawyer, and is gonna break her out.

Thug ran over and killed grandad with his own car after he refused to give him a lift
A THUG who ran over and killed a grandad with his own car after he refused to give him a lift has been jailed for life.
Jermaine Richards, 31, approached David Ford, 62, and his son Ryan at 5.45am as they prepared for a fishing trip.

When told no, he assaulted the pair, stole Dave’s Kia Sportage and then ran him over.
He suffered catastrophic injuries and died in hospital.
Ryan was left with a serious brain injury in Sheffield last September.
Richards was convicted of murder last month.
He refused to leave his cell for sentencing at the city’s crown court yesterday and was jailed for a minimum of 26 years.
Judge Jeremy Richardson KC said: “I regard the refusal of the defendant to attend court to be an act of cowardice.
“His arrogance is also demonstrated by this conduct.
“It is plain the defendant is replete with habitual violence.
“It is deeply ingrained.
“He is, in my judgment, an exceptionally volatile and dangerous man.
“I have my doubts whether it will ever be safe to release him.”
Dave’s wife of 42 years, who was not named, said: “The fact he went fishing and never came home has caused such a shock that I cannot accept it.”
