According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, the country has a problem with car thefts. In 2022, the bureau reported that 105,000 cars were stolen in the country. And that number might have risen last year and could continue higher this year thanks in part to theAir Tag. The small round item tracker has become a tool of choice for auto thieves looking to fill requests to deliver certain cars.who would use their iPhones to locate these cars late at night and steal them.
You'd think that putting an AirTag inside a vehicle would make a stolen vehicle easier to recover, but that isn't always the case. A man in Toronto had his car stolen for the second time and the AirTag he placed inside couldn't help the police get his property back. But the tracker did allow the car's owner to watch his vehicle get shipped to Dubai.
Placing an AirTag inside a car, like the Toronto-based victim we just discussed did, can often help a stolen car get recovered. It didn't work for the guy whose car ended up in Dubai, but it might work for you. However, Apple and law enforcement do agree on one thing. If you can track the whereabouts of your stolen car, do not under any circumstances try to get it back by approaching the thieves yourself or even with friends.
McLiverty says,"Criminals are increasingly using technology to target individuals, and sometimes just knowing the basic security features of these devices can go a long way." He adds that if you do come across an AirTag that you have found placed inside or outside your car, turn it over to police right away.
