'Find the booger face,' Austin woman tracks stolen Kia

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:16:52 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Danielle Paez wanted to sleep in on Saturday morning. "We were woken up very early by neighbor, and we thought who wakes someone up at this hour," she said. "And it was our very kind neighbor waking us up to tell us my boyfriend's car had been broken into, and mine just vanished. Just glass, that's it, that's all that was left of my car."After Paez reported her stolen 2019 Kia Soul to police, she said she realized she had a tool of her own to figure out where her car was: a mile tracker she uses as part of her insurance, which gave her a play-by-play of the car's whereabouts right on her phone. "I created a timeline, I managed to track down every second he turned off and on my car, every visit he made, she said. "Find the booger face. Find him."The Austin Police Department said information like this could help, but there's no guarantee it can lead to an arrest. Officers also do not recommend trying to recover your stolen vehicle on your own, because whoever stole i...
