Obando got an extra break when he discovered the thief had left his wallet behind in the vehicle.
The Confrontation
Dash cam and Find My app used to locate and monitor the vehicle
Against advice, and urged on by his wife, Obando located the stolen BMW and confronted the thief directly.

Surprisingly, instead of turning violent, the thief simply fled the scene on foot when faced with evidence he had been caught.
Obando then found several knives left inside by the thief.
