Just had my truck stolen last week. I wish I had a tracker on it so I could go find the POS and kindly let him know that my truck isn't free for the taking.

Please keep an eye out

Yeah ,phones,iPads,watches all talk to it. If apple. If it bothers you turn off the feature.

From another forum not me.

On your iPhone, open Settings, then tap your name at the top. Then Find My -> Find My iPhone. Turn off "Find My Network".

Your phone will no longer participate in the Find My network. Of course, you won't be able to find your iPhone if you loose it either.

Apple has been pretty transparant about how this works and your phone updating the location of a lost AirTag does not give apple or anyone else the abiltiy to determine your location.

nope, have had mine on my truck now since I received them.  Last night I was in my living room and it notified me I was away from my truck, lol.  And today going to work, I drive a commuter car, it notified me again where my truck was on a map.  I love it so far.  I believe you can turn those notifications off, but no monthly charges.

I received my 4 pack yesterday. I hope, seriously, that I never have to track down my stolen personal property.

Right!!  Thats the dilemma, do you just go with a couple good buddies and deal with it yourself, or call the police and find out they won't go and now they know you are on your way to some thieves house! lol

Well there has been lots of discussion over AirTags on Trailers. Over a year ago I purchased four AirTags at Costco.

One of those tags was taped inside the black water vent cap on my 15 B.
On the way to Rally in the Valley in May the cap blew off west of Winthrop Wa on Hwy 20

Over the months the AirTag kept reporting its location laying along the Hwy.
On our return from a near 3000 mile trip around Idaho, West Yellowstone we decided to try to find the cap.

Using my wife’s cell phone we pulled off the Hwy near the reported location.
She pressed find tag and a locator arrow popped on the screen and directed us to the AirTag.
The cap had been run over and was in pieces, the center with the tag still attached was in the grass along the Hwy.

In over a year all the AirTags have reported their location without fail. We had another tag on the trailer, one on generator and our small dog. Through out our trip the AirTag s reported where they were through three states without fail.

So if you are looking for cheap tracking of your items. Look at AirTags.
And yes they do report there presence at some point.  But it took 3 months.

Here’s the missing cap , what’s left with tag taped in center.

Now if I could figure a way to hide one in a game camera, we could have some real fun. :chuckle:

Use a cam that takes 16 batteries. Put batteries on one side and air tag on the other.

Yes they do. We have them on all of our smaller equipment (mini excavators, skid steers, rollers, plate compactors, jumping jacks, etc.) and I have successfully used them twice in the last couple of months to recover equipment stolen from our fleet. The police won't do chit about thieves, so this is our way of minimizing our exposure because the insurance company was sick of paying out on our smaller equipment that getting stolen.
The best friend a guy could have asked for. RIP chasing pheasants in heaven Denali girl.
