Apple will eventually notify the occupants of the vehicle that an unkonwn BLE marker is in their proximity for XX time, but, perhaps they won’t find it or know about it. They are pretty fucking stupid.

    ‘Eventually’? I sometimes get notified about people with AirTags sitting near me on the same train.

    There’s almost zero chance they don’t find these in an hour or less, and the precise tracking feature allows you to find exactly where they are.

    Considering the tags alone cost about $30 each this would just be an enormous waste of money.

      So airtags are useless for securing cars or other important items against theft?

      Since the thieves will be notified about the airtag and thus know to look for and toss it?

      As the post title says,

      It would be horrible to get these magnetic airtag holders, and throw them at ICE vehicles for tracking.

        So if the rentals are damaged in any way they would be in the hook to pay for the repairs?
