This makes me want to do the same thing back: I should put an AirTag in an inconspicuous spot on my car, myself. Then if a thief puts an AirTag on my car and steals it, I can do a Uno Reverse card.
Edit: Another idea: I should throw an AirTag on my Catalytic Converter, and cover it up with a dark plastic so it looks like it's from the factory... That could be a huge YouTube video that could launch a channel. "I AirTagged my stolen Catalytic Converter!"
- gjsman-1000 5y agoActually, Apple, that's your chance. You've got CarPlay, announce the new CarTag specification. It's just AirTag, built-into your Car in multiple spots that, while it can be removed, would require hours and hours of work pulling stuff apart. Edit: Also, you could always find your parked car!
- mrsuprawsm 5y agoThis already exists for some high-end bikes, such as Van Moof (https://9to5mac.com/2021/04/07/vanmoof-e-bikes-find-my-integration/ https://9to5mac.com/2021/04/07/vanmoof-e-bikes-find-my-integ...)
- ubercore 5y agoAs an aside, I thought it was funny shopping for an electric bike. I looked at Van Moof, and they seem great. But I saw many reviews that said they are not for "short" people. Problem is, they're designed in the Netherlands, so my pretty average 5'9" is too short for them!
- walls 5y agoI keep an AirTag in my glove box just to make sure I can always find it without having to pay too much attention to where I parked.
- ghaff 5y agoI had that thought but a quick test suggested it didn't work all that well. But, as I say, it was just a quick test. The other thing I found was useful was throwing one in checked luggage. Not that I check luggage very often but it did tell me my luggage got transferred at a connection. (Of course, the airlines' own tracking systems are increasingly making it easier to check directly.)
- lotsofpulp 5y agoWhich airline has a luggage tracking system available to passengers?
- ghaff 5y agoUnited for one. (I haven't actually used it but they say they do.) https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/help/faq/mobile-bag-tracking.html https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/help/faq/mobile-bag-tra...
- lotsofpulp 5y agoTha is neat! Wonder if it is relatively new.
