A stolen SUV with a five-year-old boy in it was successfully intercepted by police in northwest Houston last night after the child’s father used the Find My Phone feature on his iPad to track an iPhone in the car.
The father had left his son in the car while he ran into a store, when it was stolen.
Police stopped the SUV 15 minutes later and re-united the child, who was unharmed, with his father. The suspect was arrested.
While we might raise an eyebrow at leaving a 5yo child in a car on his own, credit has to be given for having the presence of mind in such circumstances to use Find My Phone in such stressful circumstances.
