The AirTags They are devices that Apple presented to us a few years ago, and that, once you try them, you can’t live without them. In my case I have several, and one of them has been in my car for a long time, something that the police here have also thought about.
And if you hide it well, it is a device that is difficult to find, which could give you clues about the whereabouts of your vehicle in case it has been stolen, although I, personally, use it, above all, to know where it is. I have parked, since sometimes I don’t remember.
What is an AirTag for in the car?
Apparently, the Arvada (Colorado) police have decided give AirTags to your citizenstired of the vehicle thefts that occur in the city, trying to get the thieves, knowing this, to try to find another place to commit their crimes, since it is likely that, if they do it here, the car has a locator , and even though they hide the car very well, they end up getting caught, which will make them, whether true or not, flee from there.
The Arvada Police Department has held a community event where they distributed locators for free. Although the number of AirTags delivered has not been specified, it was also reported that warning signs designed to be placed in vehicles were distributed, which will mean that, even though it is not true that you have it, the thief will think twice, because if he doesn’t find it, he knows that he will end up getting caught.
AirTags work in a very simple way, no SIM card requiredbut rather they use the network of all the Apple devices around them to send that location to the owner. Furthermore, with a battery that lasts more than 12 months, we have an ideal product that we can hide in the most hidden place we can find.
It is true that these devices send an alert to the thief, if he has an iPhone, and is with it for a long time, however, it will take him a while to receive that alert, and it is possible that, by then, we will have already located his movements. Also, this, for now, doesn’t work well on Android, so you’ll also have to bring an iPhone, otherwise you won’t know anything no matter how long you spend with the AirTag.
And you, do you think this is a good measure for combat vehicle theft? The truth is that if all cars had locators, some would think twice before trying to steal it, so it is not a bad idea. We’ll see how it goes for them, and if it works, this may spread to other places. Leave us a comment with your opinion about it, and if you already have one in your car, even if it is not an AirTag, there are other cheaper brands with similar results, so you would not have to spend so much on the Apple product, despite that its price is worth it, at least if it prevents our car from being stolen.
