Apple Air Tag tracker found hidden under US man’s car: Did would-be thieves have a plan?

A local auto theft task force said that they’re seeing more of these Apple Air Tag trackers, used by thieves to track the target vehicle in order to ‘pick the most opportune time to steal’ – and found ‘mostly on Dodge products, parked in mall parking lots’, the report said. — Photo by Nathan Mendes on Unsplash

A Michigan man only had his newly purchased car for two days when he discovered it was being tracked with an Apple Air Tag tracker that he found under the car, a news report said.

According to a report by Fox 2 News, John Nelson explained that the car he had purchased the week prior was a “392 Scat Pack 2018 Charger”. It’s a fast car, and the news report noted that Dodge models like that “are hot” – “making them targets”.
