A used car owner in Texas was getting ready for work when he received an alert from his iPhone that an AirTag was following him.
He reported the incident to the police, who later found an AirTag on the seat of the car.However, this AirTag is not just here, but to track the car.
It is reported that Apple has now brought enhancements to the Find My search app, allowing users to scan for items that may be tracking their AirTag or “find” enabled items.
The feature scans everything nearby and lets users know if there are devices nearby that belong to someone else. If an item is detected, Apple provides instructions on how to disable the device so that it is no longer used for tracking.
The owner just bought the used truck with an $800 down payment, the report said.The investigation confirmed that the vehicle he purchased was actually stolen by car thieves.Police suspect the vehicle identification number has been tampered with and confirm the car has been reported missing.
Investigators later determined that the AirTag was most likely installed by car thieves in order to recover the vehicle. Finally, as the AirTag conspiracy was revealed, the truck was also reverted to its original owner.
However, the “owner” who bought the second-hand truck, that is, the second-hand car owner who called the police, has paid the deposit and still needs to wait for the car thief to be caught by the police.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that,Apple AirTags are being used in an increasing number of auto thefts, especially luxury vehicles, where thieves place AirTags out of their sight and then track owners with them until the time comes.
Police are reminding motorists to park their vehicles in locked garages whenever possible and to regularly check their vehicles for trackers, especially if they receive an unknown AirTag notification.
