Ok as a combat vet and experience with tracking down enemies over in foreign countries, always having a back up way to track ur item. Putting two devices in ur sensitive item would be ideal. Have one with the speaker attached so they could find that one and have the other with the speaker removed. Leave the one with the speaker, easy to be located so they don’t easily find the quite one by mistake and they will dispose of the easy one and carry on about their business. Most criminals won’t look or check for a second one.

On a trip a few months ago my Airtag told me my bag had been left behind the flight after the airline personnel had messed up my reservation. I showed my phone's "find my..." app to the airline baggage agent; they did a deeper search on their computer and found it was on a later flight. I picked up the bag the next day and the airline gave me a flight voucher for my trouble. The tags paid for themselves.

Just did this after picking up a 4 pack. Apple has changed the internal design and glued the device shut, there isn't a way to open the AirTag without breaking the tabs. Also, the speaker isn't adhered to the plastic part that comes out, it is glued into the center of the other smarts of the device. The speaker is still disabled but the tag no longer holds itself together. I'm going to toss it into some type of case to keep the battery connected.

AirTags saved my trip to Ireland last year during the time when international airports were having major issues with not enough staff. Some people were without luggage for weeks. I had AirTags in all of our bags including my bicycle travel case. The bike missed our connection fight and was left behind in London. I knew that immediately because while boarding for Dublin I could tell that one case was not on the plane, and as soon as s I arrived in Dublin I filed for the lost bag. Shortly after leaving the airport I saw on my phone that the bag had just made to Dublin, so I returned to the airport and informed the baggage claim rep that I was tracking my bag and I that it was in the airport Sure enough they went to check and it was there… however they had no idea where my bag was. The baggage claim representative told me that had I not had an AirTag in the case it could have been weeks before I’d gotten my bag. AirTag may not be perfect but it works!
@bernardsoh3559 7 місяців тому
Yes, they are very good at stalking your luggages and other valuables. I use them predominantly to locate where my items are (beep my wallet, beep my keys) that don’t have an Apple Find Me function (like beep my iPad). If someone stole something of mine, I didn’t think I would find it using this or similar tech - unless I left it behind in a restaurant or some place where the Good Samaritan is trying to get the thing back to me but unable to contact me otherwise. I do use it to stalk my daughter who keeps losing her wallet. If she does, she will call me to beep it, or I can track her down when I need to. She knows I have this superpower and when she is a teen, she will probably leave her wallet behind when she needs to sneak off 😂

Just use two AirTags, one with noise, one without. The thief finds the noisy one, tosses it, then disables the message he was getting which disables the other one too because he will probably cancel the notice when the alert pops up one more time. Hence disabling the second device notice too. You can then continue tracking the thief.

"he will probably cancel the notice when the alert pops up one more time" how can you be so sure what a thief may do? you don't know. and besides, the second airtag WILL continue to generate alert popups on the thief's iPhone because every airtag has a unique ID embedded in the device's hardware. cancelling alerts for the beeping airtag will NOT cancel alerts for the other airtag with its speaker removed.

Don't pop the speaker off. Just put a tiny piece of saran wrap to block speaker contacts, to disable speaker. Then it's reversible when you want to restore it.

Judging by the wire coil seen at 6:57 what he removed was the speaker driver. The Speakers voice coil (copper winding) is still in there so technically if he wanted to he can put the driver back in by gluing back in and assuming he got it in the right spot the speaker will work again.

I have a couple problems with this video. First is that "Help a Friend" allows you to find other people's AirTags with your iPhone. Second is that you should receive a notification if your AirTag is "Left Behind" (stolen and removed from your immediate vicinity) at which point you'd probably enable Lost Mode (which *should* disable the "stalker notification" to the thief).

This is awesome! An airtag helped recover my 16k motorcycle some months back and the thief seemed to not have found the tag by pure luck. I will certainly add an additional ninja tag to the bike (as the sound of the OG tag did actually help localize the bike once we where on location) Super simple hack. Appreciate the video! For those that want to go even crazier: There is an open source project to flash the airtags (or any other tag for that matter) to piggyback on the airtag network to create actually 100% stealth airtags that also send no notification to the tracked person. Of course: This is to track YOUR stuff and not to stalk someone, so use this with some good judgement!

Had a flight come into my station, 170/175 so a full size forward and aft bin. Well the station it came from forgot to check the aft bin(required due to pets/dry ice). There were 23 bags that had been left in the bin and came to my station. This is bad not only from a passenger standpoint, but really really bad for pilots. They need to know the weight and balance of everything put on the aircraft to know where to set wing angle and landing/takeoff variables. If something is off too far to one side or the other the plane can crash. It's also a fine on the airline. If passengers knew half the crap we had to put up with to get them to their destination then they would just drive.

I found me AirTag after almost a year. It fell out of my wallet and I goes someone tried to take it for their own and when they couldn’t they threw it in a bush in a parking lot. I tried to find it one time but couldn’t, then before the battery died I went to find it again and someone else had found and discarded it. I think I was able to find it after Apple updated the homing feature for it. Long story short: they work and can withstand the elements. Also get something so that the AirTag doesn’t just move around in your wallet and falls out

Remember you are doing this only to protect something from being stolen, not lost. I keep an airtag in my car, you will never need to use the sound to locate your car once your in the Immediate vicinity. Another workaround that I do is for my toolbag I hide TWO airtags, one that sort of easy to find and one that's not, so when a crook gets the alert and finds and disables one and thinks they are in the clear, there is another one. The notification wont say there are TWO airtags following you. Now of course sooner or later the crook will get another notification but hopefully by that time I'm standing outside his door with either the cops or some people that he wishes were the cops if you know what I mean.

i was literally just trying to figure this out last week. i have an airtag attached to my bike incase someone steals it. The airtag is well hidden but then when the bike is moved it makes the chiming noise defeating the purpose of hiding the airtag and also alerting the potential thief that there is an airtag on my bike. I posted to reddit asking if there was a way to disable the chime sound and everyone said no, apple put the chime sound on it so people will know if someone slipped it into their bag or something to track them. As you said Apple's main purpose of the airtag is to track an item you've lost it is not intended to be a tracking device for stolen objects. I am going to be doing this little hack immediately to the airtag on my bike.

The secret to fool the thief would be to plant two airtags in the bag, one with sound (planted in a more obvious place) and one without (hidden in the lining or somewhere more obscure). When they were alerted that there was an air tag they would find the more obvious one with sound and then assume that they had found the one. Should the alert keep going off from the other one they would probably assume that it was from the first one (the one with sound) since they are in the same area.

As one of those "authorities" you say to call, we have no way of finding an AirTag in, say, a car--especially after turning it off. I have experience in this. This victim could make the tag sound, but it was turned off before we could find it. It would be impossible to find a silenced AirTag hidden in a victim's car or in some of her personal effects when she has taken great pains to move away from an abuser and hide her location. The most recent was a young lady who coordinated friends and family to help her move out and escape her abuser while he was away on a business trip. Within hours of his return, he showed up at her apartment door.

keep in mind the airtags give the location of the nearest device that detects them, not the actual location of the airtag. So in common use, its where you iphone with bluetooth is, but the airtag could be anywhere in range, but showing your iphone gps location. If you put it into missing mode, then the location of the gps of the iphone that detects it, which gives you a good idea, just not exact location. I think as an anti theft device in a car it would work as it would be detected where the car was taken to ... and only starts alerting about 24 hours later, which you could be able to location it before then. And not all thefts would have iphones.
