A few days ago, Tom Delonge helped out a fair bit in locating two alleged predators that were on the run from the police. Two men allegedly attacked a young girl and tried to kidnap her before fleeing. According to Delonge, the girl was a childhood friend of his daughter. Delonge then posted information about the two attackers on his facebook page and requested that his followers share the information, and if possible, report helpful information to the police. The posts were widely disseminated and just yesterday, the men were apprehended. The alleged attackers were identified by people who had seen relevant social media posts and the police were alerted. See Delonge's post below.

These asswipes are going to jail for trying to kidnapp a 15 year old girl 48 hours ago. She grew up with my family and my bandmates. We then banned together in Encinitas and we all posted about it. Then, about 10,000 San Diego people were looking for these douchbags and their ugly truck. After they staked out 2 MORE ELEMENTRY SCHOOLS YESTERDAY, the fucking idiot drove back into the SAME FUCKING NEIGHBORHOOD where everyone was looking and wiring to crucify him.
So… SWAT TEAM took the fuckface down, and like the pussy he is, he ratted out his friend instantly. Still trying to connect all dots to see if it goes all the way to human trafficking and any other horrible sex crimes. But as a Father, I can speak for all other Fathers, these guys are lucky they were grabbed by police and not us.
