Investigators at the York Regional Police Auto Theft Unit have discovered a new method used by thieves to track and steal high-end vehicles in the York area. Thieves hide the AirTag somewhere on your vehicle and then track it down for theft at a more convenient time or place. The AirTag may be hidden behind the gas cap or under the car.
Officers have investigated five incidents since September in which suspects used AirTags to help steal vehicles.
The AirTag is placed in areas out of view of the target vehicles when they are parked in public places such as shopping malls or public parking lots.
The thieves then track the targeted vehicles to the victim's home, where they are stolen from the driveway.
Apple has a solution in the upcoming version iOS 15.2
Currently, Apple notifies iPhone users if they are followed by another user's AirTag. If you receive this notice while driving, stop in a safe area and check your vehicle for any tracking devices.
With iOS 15.2, Apple will be adding improvements to the Find My app. A new feature is designed to allow users to search for AirTags that they may be tracking.

Because my brother has an air tag connected to his device
Every time he rides with me in the car after we are together for a long time, that is, more than XNUMX minutes, he gives me a warning that there is an air tag in an area very close to you… Do you know it or not? So this notice will purify anyone who is in an air-tang condition in their car
Thanks for being stupid for sharing a new method for thieves they didn't know about
The choice of what you propose should be positive and useful
How is the matter questionable, unless he follows the car from behind, because it is known that the Airtags or the tiles, when they are far from the mobile, have no value? By God, I was myself in the Tile for my daughter as a chain, but after I learned that it only works near the mobile phone. I said I want it? I wish someone would enlighten us if it works far from the mobile or not. God bless you
We must cooperate with Android so that all types of mobiles are covered because not all people have an iPhone to receive the warning
A very important issue, and it happened that they put these devices in the hand bags of the targets and followed them, as they are not limited to cars.
Thanks for posting it
My brother, there is a solution to a problem that I always do in my home and car, and it is an anti gps tracker :( even the government is forbidden to track your location
Ok, why do they put this feature in the iPhone?
As we mentioned earlier in a previous comment on an article related to the Airtag, the issue of espionage is not limited to the Airtag device, whoever is meant to track you can put devices of similar size and work via GPS. .
I do not know what is new in the matter because tracking devices have been around for a long time and are smaller than air tags and are available and offered for sale to everyone.. Why is air tag especially considered something dangerous??
Of course, this problem is dangerous if Apple does not solve the problem.

I received a notification from Apple when I had my airpod case in the car.
And the phone alerted me about a quarter of an hour later
Of course, this problem is dangerous if Apple does not solve the problem.
We need AirPods Pro settings to turn on the spatial sound, knowing that my phone 12 Promax and I tried it on an old phone 7. The spatial sound worked, but on the Evote 12 it says it does not play
Yes, anything related to tracking is a threat to society, whether on the part of thieves or a state
This issue is very serious, so I wish they could solve it
