Source for the arrest? I listened to this the other day and I don’t recall an arrest being mentioned. The podcast in fact covers that the police weren’t very much interested, which is why they got a PI involved, who got the thieves to “return” (dump in an adjacent car park) the devices simply by asking questions.

I’m guessing the AI hallucinated it.

Yeah - I don't have an hour to listen to the podcast or read the transcript. I got an AI to summarise the article and it saved me the time, I thought someone else might appreciate the summary (and it appears they did).

Perhaps next time I'll add TL;got-an-llm-to-do-it or something

“I don’t have time to know what really happened so I had something hallucinate a series of events that didn’t happen and that was good actually” is such a fascinating take
