NWA wrestlers Bryan Idol and Natalia Markova tracked down a purse thief at a Walmart while flying back to Tampa from Nashville for a TV taping last month. The 33-year-old Markova couldn't find her purse when they landed at the airport. Airline inspectors looked at her seat at the back of the aircraft but her lost item was nowhere to be found.

Idol inquired if her AirPods were in her purse so that they could track them down using Apple's "Find My" app. They were not pinging right at that instant, but sometime in the following ten minutes, they pinged to a location half an hour away. Roughly 45 minutes from the airport, they located the burglar at a Walmart in Pinellas Park.
