Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 34721, member: 636"] Apple created the Find My network with AirTags to help people track their belongings. These small circular devices let users keep tabs on expensive items like cars that thieves might target. Many people love these trackers because they work well at finding lost or stolen items. Others worry stalkers might use them for harmful purposes. The trackers have definitely hurt competing businesses that make similar products. AirTags help fight crime when users work with police instead of hunting down thieves themselves. Apple recognized potential stalking problems early and built in safety features. Your iPhone or iPad will alert you if someone else's AirTag travels with you. Android phones can detect them too. The AirTag itself starts beeping after a while to reveal its location. Despite these precautions, some scary situations have happened. Australian tourists found unwanted AirTags in their luggage and changed their travel plans. A woman received alerts about a nearby AirTag from a man falsely claiming to be her husband. Someone even filed a lawsuit against Apple, arguing these devices make stalking easier. The good news: AirTags have prevented many crimes. Colorado police gave them to residents for free because they work so well. Thanks to hidden AirTags, a carpenter recovered $5 million worth of stolen equipment. However, a 61-year-old person died after tracking thieves without calling the police first. For about $80, a four-pack of AirTags from Amazon can protect your valuables. These trackers often stand between successful theft and failed attempts. When used properly with law enforcement help, they provide peace of mind for many users. [/QUOTE]
