How a grieving family tracked down their stolen car with a pair of AirPods
A grieving Melbourne family has taken the law into their own hands to chase down their stolen car, using an unlikely piece of technology to get their beloved vehicle back. The Mernda family's 2016 Holden V8 Commodore was stolen from the car park of Sunshine Hospital on Friday. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Fed-up Melbourne family takes the law into their own hands to chase down their stolen car They were at the hospital saying goodbye to their dying grandmother, returning to the car only to find it had disappeared. Frantic, Kosta Theos realised he had left his Apple AirPods in the car's centre console. 'All of a sudden a light bulb clicked,' he told 7NEWS. The headphones provided the family with regular location updates, allowing them to hop into another car and give chase. They finally caught up to Holden, which was captured on dashcam driving erratically and weaving though traffic. 'I'm thinking it's gonna clip a tree, or clip a car and then it would have been mayhem,' Kosta's father and the car's owner John Theos said. 'It was getting thrashed, he was going over the footpaths, over roundabouts.' Dashcam footage shows the Theos family chasing after their Holden V8 Commodore.

Another car involved in the chase, a black Subaru with stolen number plates, was helping the thief by stopping Kosta and John from getting too close. 'While we were chasing our car, the Subaru (had) gone in front of us, blocked us off,' John said. The chase lasted an exhausting two or three hours, ending when the family found it dumped in a court. The family were at the hospital visiting their dying grandmother when the car was taken. Credit: 7NEWS The car was found dumped in a court.
