An increasing number of thieves use Apple’s AirTag tracker to track a target car to the owner’s home and steal it from the driveway.
The agency explains that the number of cases where Apple’s tracker has been used to locate a car owner’s home has increased. Since September 2021, police officers in the region have investigated five incidents where thieves stole high-end vehicles with the help of AirTags.The thieves target valuable vehicles they find in public places and parking lots. They hide an AirTag on the target car in a place that’s hard to spot, like the tow hitch or the fuel cap.
That’s the small but vital role that AirTags play. Thieves will then try to steal the vehicle they’ve targeted directly from the owner’s home.
