feature of AirTag to track and steal high-end vehicles.

Police in York Region, Canada have investigated five incidents of using AirTag to steal high-end vehicles in the past three months, and the York Regional
Police Service outlined the new method of theft in a press release: High-end vehicles found are targeted, placing AirTags in hidden locations on the vehicle,
such as on towing gear or fuel caps, and then stealing them when no one is there.

While only five thefts have been directly linked to AirTags so far, the problem could expand to other regions and countries around the world. The police expect
that more and more criminals will use AirTags to steal in the future. Such Bluetooth tracking devices already exist, but AirTag is faster and more accurate than
other Bluetooth tracking devices such as Tile.

Ha said that, AirTag also prevents car theft.One netizen commented: “Car owners should hide an AirTag in their car, and if the car is lost, they can tell the
police where their car is now.”

Apple has added an anti-tracking feature to AirTag, so when an unknown AirTag device gets mixed in with your belongings, your iPhone will find that it’s been
with you and send you an alert. After a while, if you haven’t found the AirTag, it will start playing a sound to let you know where it is. And thieves can’t disable
Apple’s anti-tracking feature.

Our company has also launched a leather protective cover with air tag. At present, the price is very favorable in the promotion stage. Welcome to inquire.
