Someone posted this in another thread I think yesterday. Not that familiar with these but it seems thieves find a way to use stuff like this to their advantage all the time. Not a fan. I don’t need Apple getting any more info on me than they already get. It’ll be interesting to see if this type of thievery gains any traction.

I wonder what the app is to detect them?

My daughter just said why don’t we as well put a Apple or Tile finder on ours🤔
That’s actually a really good idea if you think about it. You then put a sticker saying there is more than one tile on the car😂. The thief would havre to start looking all over the car and who the hell would know where it is hmmm.

Law enforcement used to use a similar device to track criminals until SCOTUS said they couldn’t.

No worries she is driving as quick as possible to get to her ride😎. Which I personally drove down for her to have to drive for the next 2 plus weeks while we vacation. She wants to drive my Dad around in her pride and joy.

That big screen is nice isn't it? I wasn't sure I would be a fan, but I've grown to really like it. Took me all of about 10 minutes after buying the truck.

The only reason she agreed to the craziness is the Challenger is waiting for her to re-possess.

I love this idea - daughter is destined for greatness. But let's run with her idea.

How about we just start putting a sticker on the car and skip actually putting on an Apple Tile?

Apple gets no revenue, no thieves (or vengeful ex-....ummm, themfriends?) could ever hack into the tile for nefarious location/tracking purposes, and like many homes without real alarm systems but with signs out front the casual thief sees the sign/sticker and moves on to another home/car.
