According to deputies, two of the teens entered the vehicle, while a third teen stood as the lookout. The three then took the iPod to another teen's house, where one offered to sell it for $50, deputies said. The other teen offered to swap a leather protective iPod cover for the iPod, not knowing it was stolen, deputies said.

After the swap was completed, the teen then posted the iPod for sale on Craigslist, deputies said. The victim noticed the ad and contacted law enforcement about his vehicle being burglarized, deputies said.

Deputies said they questioned the teens and arrested them.

All three were released to their parents, and the iPod was returned to the victim.
