Apple's smartphones and wearable devices might be some of the most coveted devices across the world, but that doesn't mean one can simply steal them from another user, as a thief in Brazil recently discovered. The police arrested him after the Apple Watch he stole helped them track him down.

According to AppleInsider, the Apple Watch was stolen from a man's home in Santa Maria last Saturday. However, the assailants who attacked him did not just steal his Apple Watch, they also took his BMW X4, according to a Brazilian website MacMagazine.
