A thief who was stealing a wall piece by piece was caught when a man put a tracking device in one of the stones.
Matt Smith said people living near Rufford Old Hall in Lancashire, "were getting a bit miffed" with stones being taken from the 300-year-old boundary wall.
So he put an Apple AirTag - a coin-sized tracking device people attack to keys or wallets in case they lose them - inside one of the stone.
Police followed the trail to an address in Wigan, and earlier this month, a man pleaded guilty at Wigan Magistrates' Court to two counts of theft and one count of handling stolen goods.

A "badly dehydrated, underweight and abandoned" baby seal has been rescued from Fleetwood beach.
It was found stranded on Saturday morning, the coastguard said.
The person who found the pup "did absolutely the right thing" by contacting the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), a charity that responds to stranded, injured or trapped marine animals, the coastguard said.
Marine mammal medics took it to a specialist centre for rehabilitation before it will be re-released.

One of the UK's most prolific tax fraudsters from Preston has lost his appeal against a judge's order to repay more than ÂŁ90m he gained through his crimes.
Arif Patel ran an international organised crime group, which stole tens of millions of pounds of public money through a complex tax fraud.
He fled the UK in 2011 and has never returned, but was eventually convicted in his absence of offences including conspiracies to cheat His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the importation and sale of counterfeit goods and money- laundering.
In a written judgment on Tuesday, the Court of Appeal rejected his claim that the size of his property empire, which had been seized by the court-appointed receiver in 2010, had not kept pace with inflation and that the judge's order had been disproportionate.
