Six-foot-tall bull statue found with the help of AirTag

Manolo the bull, in better days


A Texas restaurant recovered its beloved 6-foot-tall, 150-pound fiberglass bull statue thanks to a well-placed Apple AirTag.

The statue, dubbed Manolo, sat outside San Antonio’s Tacos Don Manolito. The bull, who had been there since January, was chained to a bench that was cemented to the ground. Owner David Barquet assumed that no one would be bold enough to try to steal such a large object.

However, on June 12, Manolo was missing from his usual spot. The chain that kept him secure for the last six months had been cut.

What thieves didn’t anticipate, however, was that Barquet had placed an AirTag inside Manolo — just in case.
