    I’ve heard mixed opinions about using AirTags to keep track of your bike. Good arguments have been made pointing out that if you do have your bike stolen, all an AirTag might show you is that it’s in a property, but what are you going to do then?

    Also Apple had to address the awful situation where people were using AirTags to stalk people, however this also meant that thieves will be alerted when they are in the presence of your AirTag after a certain period of time.

    What does anyone think about using AirTags to help protect their bikes?

    Thanks

  • They seem a good idea, but like you say the anti stalker alarm is a bit shit. It’s a good job you only have to remove the tiny speaker to disable it.
    A friend did get his car back after it was stolen because the police went where the tracker said it was and well there it was. It was a £60,000 convertible, but I can’t see the police being interested in finding a bike tbh. The best you can hope for is that you are alerted to the bike moving and can get to it and convince the thieves by whatever means to leave the bike.

  • Oh is this how you disable it? I thought even without the speaker it would still send an alert to the thieves phone, but I might be wrong.
    Ah that’s good.
    I’d be scared to go after my bike alone to be honest.
