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.

    Wouldn’t the cars just be all red? One or two balloons on each side looks distinctive. A random splash of red on an otherwise dark car.

    Hundreds of red paint balloons just looks like a shitty paint job.

    The idea COULD work by the hundreds if everybody picked their own color. Then hundreds of balloons would just look like confetti colors on their car, and stand out.

      As /u/[email protected] said, I meant hundreds of people marking cars, not hundreds of balloons to mark one car.

      It would immediately, visibly, publicly mark that something is up with the car. It would cause them repair bills, even with them renting out cars. And if it went on long enough, they’d probably be banned from renting cars from enough places to give them trouble. And if you hit the windshield (on their parked/stopped cars), you can de facto disable the car which further fucks them over.

      I doubt they mean hundreds of balloons at one car, they probably meant a few balloons for each vehicle but hundreds of people carrying balloons and marking hundreds of cars.

      Put a bunch of sand in tbe paint balloons and aim for the windshield so they fuck up the wiper blades, and can’t see.

        Please specify that this only works for parked vehicles. We don’t need dead pedestrians from drivers suddenly losing visibility
