Huge mistake on the truck owners part.As for the shooting, we shall see how it shakes out but I will be surprised if the truck owner does not rack up some unnecessary legal expenses at the least.
Yep.

I totally get the frustration that made this guy take matters into his own hands like that, but for better or for worse, I agree that the cops should have been put on the hunt with the AirTag information. It totally sucks, but better to risk losing a $50,000 truck than to have to pay $150,000 in legal fees…and that’s hoping that you get no-billed. If you are indicted, and worse, convicted, is prison worth the price of recovering the truck yourself? Plus, it’s my understanding that with AirTags, police have a pretty decent chance of recovering the vehicle.
