A woman in Chigwell, Essex says her car is stolen while she is at a wedding, but she later locates it using a laptop she sets up as a tracker. The Daily Mail reports that Vivi Kala, 38, parks her Kia Sportage hatchback on a residential street near the Prince Regent Hotel on 20 August and returns to find the vehicle missing.
According to the account, she uses the laptop setup to find the car’s location and then “steals her own car back,” in the wording used by the outlet. The report describes the incident as a case of vehicle theft and subsequent recovery through self-tracking rather than police recovery. The sources provided do not add further detail on whether authorities are notified, how the laptop tracking works technically, or whether anyone is arrested.
The reports focus primarily on the recovery method and timing—linking the theft to her absence at the wedding—while offering limited information about the investigation or broader circumstances.
