PSA: Don’t use AirTags on dog collars that dangle off the collar. Instead, find one that tucks itself within the inside of the collar. Just witnessed a dog eat/swallow another dog’s AirTag at the park.

We can hear the beeping from “FindMy” inside the other dogs stomach….

Stolen Bike found using AirTag

Just like most of you all I purchased a couple of AirTags on release day to put on my keys, bag, bike, etc. I always hoped that I wouldn’t have to use them but today they saved me from losing my roadbike.

I go to a very large public university and usually bike to my classes from my apartment. I frequently participate in a ride called “Ragbrai” which involves cycling 500ish miles in a week so I have a rather expensive bike. Today I rode to my classes and then after leaving one of the buildings I found that my bike was stolen and the lock cut right through. I immediately checked the Find My app to see if hopefully the AirTag I had hidden under the seat would be able to tell me where my bike had gone. I saw that it was around 5 minutes walking distance north of me on campus and figured that whoever had stolen it must’ve just left with the bike. I tried running to catch them but they started cycling on a major road in town so I gave up trying to catch them and just called the campus police. I was able to update them with the location of the bike every couple of minutes as it was pinging off of the assailant’s phone and they were able to find him and arrest him for grand theft. I thankfully got my bike back which wouldn’t have happened without my AirTag :)
