In an interview with NBC6, Caleb Cordero Lopez said that when his wife was leaving for work, she realized that her car had been rummaged through and that his car had been stolen.

Lopez used the live location of the headphones to drive to the car's location.
Hallandale Beach Police later spotted the vehicle in their city and followed it back to Hollywood, where the driver got out and took off in the area of Mayo Street and South 27th Avenue. Nearby Colbert Elementary was put on lockdown as a precaution.
Even though the car will need repairs, Lopez was glad he was able to pinpoint his car and retrieve it.
