Apple AirTags can be incredibly helpful when one loses an item. In the case of one Chicago man, that item is a stolen motorcycle and he says that police aren’t helping him recover it despite knowing exactly where it is. The hope of getting his bike back is slowly dwindling as the days go by.

Scotty Woods says that his Honda motorcycle disappeared from his apartment building near Patterson Avenue and Pine Grove Avenue last Sunday night. Despite feeling confident that someone had stolen it, Woods tried to maintain a slightly more positive outlook.

“I was trying to keep hope with the situation and I asked ‘was it towed’ knowing it wasn’t towed because it was legally parked,” he told NBC Chicago. “I was trying to keep that ray of hope opened.” There was another reason to have hope though and that was the AirTag Woods left under the seat of his bike.

He used that AirTag to track the bike to an alley and presumably inside a box truck. Despite having what seems to be the exact location of the Honda, Woods says that police aren’t doing much of anything to help him recover it.

“I actually went over there after the dispatcher told me not to go by myself,” he said. “I was kinda emotionally enraged about the whole situation and I was just hoping that I would see it in plain sight, but unfortunately I did not.” When an officer did arrive things didn’t exactly get better.

According to Woods, the officer wouldn’t even walk down the alley with him. “He wasn’t on the scene for two minutes,” said Woods. “I asked him if he could take me through the alley or anything of that nature just to do a safety check or assist. They denied and they said I don’t see it in plain sight that they can’t help me.”

For now, it seems as though having the knowledge of where the bike is won’t be enough to get it back. Woods hasn’t totally given up though. “I just want to sit over there to see if somebody opens that box truck or maybe the garage,” he said. “My hope is running out. I’m not too much worried about going back over there, knocking on the door myself just to figure it out.”
