A student took matters into her own hands when her Ford Fiesta was stolen from outside her home – by using an Apple AirTag to track it down herself and documenting the journey on .\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zo\u00eb Pettit, 22,\u00a0was horrified when she woke up for an early gym session and realised her car was missing from the street where it was parked in Selly Oak, , last week.<\/p>\n

Helpfully she had tucked an Apple AirTag, a tracking device that can be traced via phone, into the lining of her boot after fellow students advised her about a spate of car thefts in the area.<\/p>\n

So when the business student discovered her car had been stolen, she and two university friends set on a mission to find it – and were successful within a matter of hours despite police reportedly failing to have any luck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0Zo\u00eb Originally from Norwich, Norfolk, explained: ‘Every morning I just double check it’s there because you see quite a few posts from people saying their car was stolen overnight.<\/p>\n

‘I looked up the road and I thought I was going crazy because I couldn’t see it.’<\/p>\n
