I have an AirTag hidden in my car, and it makes me feel a bit better — but it's mostly just to help me remember where I've parked. My partner's car was stolen out of the parking garage on Grove St. in Hayes Valley (San Francisco). It was recovered three days later in the garage on 5th and Mission. Probably not the same person who had stolen it, but someone had essentially moved in. When we picked up the car at the impound lot, it was full of stuff — dozens of documents that personally identified who was living in the car. There was even a journal with lists of cars and locations for future theft! The garage also had security camera footage of the theft, and the 5th/Mission garage of the person who dropped it off. SFPD was uninterested. I hung on to photos of everything though. It was just kind of mind-blowing to me at the time that despite very clear evidence that could likely lead to arrests, there was a lack of willingness to do anything about it. Maybe it would be different in another city, but I'm not so sure. As much as I'd like to think that some folks on the police force are there to build cases and actively catch criminals, I don't think that happens too often outside of TV shows. Of course, it’s also likely a single car theft is too small potatoes for that kind of effort.
