Ok as a combat vet and experience with tracking down enemies over in foreign countries, always having a back up way to track ur item. Putting two devices in ur sensitive item would be ideal. Have one with the speaker attached so they could find that one and have the other with the speaker removed. Leave the one with the speaker, easy to be located so they don’t easily find the quite one by mistake and they will dispose of the easy one and carry on about their business. Most criminals won’t look or check for a second one.

@CorkyStanton 2 years ago

Just use two AirTags, one with noise, one without. The thief finds the noisy one, tosses it, then disables the message he was getting which disables the other one too because he will probably cancel the notice when the alert pops up one more time. Hence disabling the second device notice too. You can then continue tracking the thief.

100% worth buying airtags! Had my welding helmet bag stolen from my welding truck, the bag was valued at $3k, long story short I found the thieves house, called the police, and got my bag back! They are worth every penny

Just did this after picking up a 4 pack. Apple has changed the internal design and glued the device shut, there isn't a way to open the AirTag without breaking the tabs. Also, the speaker isn't adhered to the plastic part that comes out, it is glued into the center of the other smarts of the device. The speaker is still disabled but the tag no longer holds itself together. I'm going to toss it into some type of case to keep the battery connected. Just an FYI to anyone attempting this after March of 2023.

@johnfarris5325 3 years ago

Don't pop the speaker off. Just put a tiny piece of saran wrap to block speaker contacts, to disable speaker. Then it's reversible when you want to restore it.

@Ritercrazy 2 years ago

Too bad criminals are using these to track a person's car or a person. Just stick the airtag on a car or drop it in someone's pocket or purse, then follow them home... So terrible.

On a trip a few months ago my Airtag told me my bag had been left behind the flight after the airline personnel had messed up my reservation. I showed my phone's "find my..." app to the airline baggage agent; they did a deeper search on their computer and found it was on a later flight. I picked up the bag the next day and the airline gave me a flight voucher for my trouble. The tags paid for themselves.

@MichelleAlexandria-EM 3 years ago

My car was stolen a few months ago and because of Airtag, the police was able to track and recover my car in less than 3 hrs.

@randallsmerna384 2 years ago

That's only half the problem. I don't want it to tell them there is an airtag with them or it defeats the purpose!

@nighthogproductions5086 3 years ago

Honestly the biggest problem i find with airtags is you cant family share them. we use them for the appletv remotes and car keys things that are shared. Its damn annoying not being able to see my wife's tags or her being able to see mine.

AirTags saved my trip to Ireland last year during the time when international airports were having major issues with not enough staff.
Some people were without luggage for weeks.
I had AirTags in all of our bags including my bicycle travel case.
The bike missed our connection fight and was left behind in London.
I knew that immediately because while boarding for Dublin I could tell that one case was not on the plane, and as soon as s I arrived in Dublin I filed for the lost bag.
Shortly after leaving the airport I saw on my phone that the bag had just made to Dublin, so I returned to the airport and informed the baggage claim rep that I was tracking my bag and I that it was in the airport
Sure enough they went to check and it was there… however they had no idea where my bag was.
The baggage claim representative told me that had I not had an AirTag in the case it could have been weeks before I’d gotten my bag.
AirTag may not be perfect but it works!

For the Airtag Vault, and anything that uses adhesive make sure to clear the area well with rubbing alcohol to ensure a clean area that will get the best adhesion, also pressure and friction. Sometimes i might heat up the adhesive area with a hairdryer before hand to get a more permanent stick. Some helpful tips.

@ilia2178 3 years ago

I thought about doing this and then I realised police here in the UK don't actually do anything even if you tell them the exact coordinates of the thief's house and provide CCTV footage of the theft.

@JAQ555 3 years ago

My friend had an airtag hidden in her car by someone (still unknown) for months, she would have the notifications pop up saying shes been followed via the air tag whenever she drives. She ended up selling the car before she was ever able to find it. stay safe out there yall

@colt5189 2 years ago

There are Airtag holders that screw into dog collars. What you can do is instead use that Airtag holder to screw into your luggage or backpacks. That will help secure the Airtag to your luggage incase someone steals it or whatever and rummages around through it. And if they do find the Airtag, they'd need a torx driver to unscrew it to remove it from the bag.

@EpicBenjo 3 years ago

All you had to do was remove that white circle on top of the speaker which is magnetic. Didn’t have to peel off the speaker. That way you can put the magnet back if you wanted to bring the sound back

@ogre4375 3 years ago

For anyone wondering this still works, however the speaker is glued to the base instead of the cover that’s pryed off, just pop a razor blade underneath and pry it off.

@nyanates 2 years ago

Put one of these in my checked bag on an international flight. Didn't see the bag on the belt at all, even though Find my was telling me it was there. I sought help from Baggage Claim personnel and we walked around searching. Then noticed it literally tracks its proximity to you on the phone so you can walk rigjt to it. We found the bag and it was hidden behind another right next to it. A good laugh had by all - at my expense - but this thing realy was useful. 😅😅😅

@andrewdiamond2697 3 years ago

This is why I use BOTH an Apple AirTag and Samsung SmartTag on some things. I hide them in different places, and if a thief is notified and finds one, they will think they "found it" and they will probably quit looking and not find the other.

@JT_70 3 years ago

Air Tags were cool to have in our luggage when we traveled internationally a few months ago. Another couple on our trip wished they had them in their bags which were not located for 2 weeks…on the last day of the trip. Though frequent travelers, they allowed the airline to put their carry on bags in the hold. All they had for 2 weeks were the clothes they were wearing and some they had to buy on the trip. No clothes or underwear - no makeup - no toiletries.
