Jayy Robinson, 23, is an engineer who left people amazed when he used his technological knowledge to track down thieves who stole his cars.

The engineer was taken aback when one day he discovered that he had been robbed. Like any other work day, Jayy woke up at 6 in the morning. When he came downstairs, he was shocked to discover that both his $28,000 Seat sports car and his $19,000 Volkswagen Golf were missing.
Jayy said that at that moment he was completely desperate. He commented, according to SWNS, “I was devastated.” Little did Jayy know that his tech-savvy mind would end up helping her in his pursuit.
Where did the robbery take place?
The incident took place at Jayy’s home in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Why did Jayy feel she needed to step in to investigate?

The 23-year-old engineer was skeptical about the official search and traditional methods that would likely take authorities months to locate his vehicles. He told the outlet: “I wouldn’t have gotten the Seat (the vehicle’s brand) back if I hadn’t taken matters into my own hands.”
How did you catch the thieves?

Jayy used his knowledge of Generation Z in social media and technological tools to catch the thieves. After her initial meltdown upon hearing the news, Jayy received a tip from her friend Jamie Pollin, who had seen an ad for a stolen Seat in a Snapchat video. The clip, Pollen mentioned, included a blurry image of the trip.
It was then that the amateur detectives decided to confront the thieves. According to sources, Pollin cleverly initiated a Snapchat conversation with the thief, who insisted on a sum of approximately $2,500 in exchange for the stolen vehicle. The thief attempted to establish a good relationship by adopting a friendly demeanor toward Pollin.
The dynamic duo subsequently conducted their own form of digital reconnaissance, like any other top-tier surveillance team, conducting a reverse image search of the structure near the car that had been parked.
Fortunately, the car’s whereabouts were traced to West Bromwich, just nine kilometers from Robinson’s residence in Birmingham.
Using their social media research skills, they managed to identify the location by seeing the name of the development on a nearby rubbish bin. Armed with this information, they used Google Earth to identify the exact street where the vehicle was discreetly parked.
The duo quickly notified authorities, leading to the successful recovery of the Seat, which they discovered “parked with no one around.” So far there has been no news in the search for Robinson’s Volkswagen Golf.
