Police said a passenger traveling through Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport in the Florida Panhandle last month packed the tracking device in her suitcase. Her luggage, containing items worth more than $1,600, never arrived at her destination. The passenger, however, told police that her Find My app detected the AirTag approximately 11 miles from the airport.
A few weeks later, a different passenger reported that jewelry and other items totaling upwards of $15,000 were missing from his bags. Officers cross-referenced the location of the AirTag with airport employees in the area, eventually leading to the home of 19-year-old Giovanni De Luca, an airline subcontractor.
