Star artiste Akon suffered a dramatic car theft in Atlanta, US, on May 24 when the ride disappeared while he was fuelling it.
The situation was so bad for him that his iPhone with which he could promptly make necessary contact was in the car.
But, by yesterday May 25, his car was back in what looks like a movie.
According to Atlanta Journal-Constitution, he, alongside the police, used MyPhoneFinder to track the car.
Akon was said to have stopped at a Quiktrip gas station to fill his white Range Rover up with gas.
He left the car running with the keys inside the vehicle, so he could fill up the gas tank.
Reports add: Before he was done, however, he noticed someone taking off with his car, which held valuables, including a $25,000 diamond necklace, a Louis Vuitton bag and his iPhone.
Akon called police, who arrived at the gas station at 11:59 p.m. He told authorities that a dark-colored sedan followed his SUV when it made a right onto Sidney Marcus Boulevard. Surveillance footage of the theft confirmed his account.
A police report stated that the video showed the sedan as it pulled into the station right next to Akon’s SUV.
“Shortly after, you can see the suspect get out of the passenger seat of what looks to be a black, four-door BMW sedan, get into the driver’s seat of the victim’s vehicle and drive off with the black BMW following right behind,” the report read.
Since his phone was left in the vehicle when it was stolen, Akon reportedly used the FindMyPhone app to track his phone and find his car.
He was first led to Lawton Street in southwest Atlanta, but when police went to that location, they were unable to find it.
The second time around, after the app determined the vehicle was in Forest Park, it was recovered by the Forest Park GA Police Department and returned to Akon on Tuesday morning (May 25). .
