Air Pods Lead To Arrest After Burglary Of Fort Myers Car Dealership
If you commit a crime, tying yourself to it in any way is a rookie mistake and Air Pods led to an arrest after a burglary of a Fort Myers car dealership.
The Florida Man is known for doing stupid things. And sometimes after doing those stupid things, they give themselves away by leaving evidence behind. Or they take something with an item inside it that someone else left behind. And that’s exactly what happened last weekend after a burglary of a car dealership in Fort Myers. In this case, it was a disgruntled former employee who thought “he hit the jackpot”, and it sounds like he may have even gotten away with it, if not for one small detail. Police were led right to him.
Air Pods Lead To Arrest After Burglary Of Fort Myers Car Dealership
Last weekend at Sutherlin Nissan in Fort Myers, Michael Conan Hohner, a former employee of the dealership, broke in. According to WFLA, he stole over $100,000 in tools and toolboxes. I’m sure he was feeling pretty good about his score, after all, that’s a lot of stuff he got his hands on, but it didn’t take long for police to find out exactly who did it. Why? Because in one of those toolboxes, a current employee left a pair of Apple Air Pods and they were pinging from a storage unit in Cape Coral.
Investigators were quickly able to find out who the storage unit was rented to. On top of that, surveillance footage also captured Hohner putting the stolen toolboxes in the unit.
While he had a new job at an Audi dealership in Fort Myers, he was let go recently from Sutherland and blamed them for it, so it sounds like the burglary was a case of retaliation. But it was at his new job that he was arrested on Tuesday on charges of larceny grand theft and burglary. I’m guessing his employment there has successfully come to an end as well.
