With so many reports of the AirTag saving the day, one group of thieves found a way to avoid being stalked and steal in peace.

) that Becca Hislop put an AirTag in her vehicle, so when it was stolen near Science World in Vancouver on a Sunday morning, she decided to take matters into her own hands. The tracker showed her car moving through the city and stuck in downtown traffic.

The thieves had spotted the AirTag and placed it on a car that belonged to Evo Car Share car rental service. So even though the AirTag reliably relayed its location, it sent the owner the wrong way. This found the AirTag, took it out of the car and had the foresight to put it into a car that would be moving randomly and effectively sent us all on a wild goose chase, which is what we did. I want this person to get their karma because we work hard for our things and it’s not fair that some people think they can cheat and just take." - Becca Hislop
