I find it hard to believe that these things will warn the thief that it is present on my bike somewhere ! The “hard to believe” part is that I have no control over it! Someone tell me that is not a fact and that there is a way …or make me an offer on a box full of these !

At least two things would happen if a thief steals your bike:

  1. The AirTag, being away from you, will start periodically beeping.
  2. If the thief happens to have an iPhone, it will alert them than an AirTag is "following" them.


The AirTags were not designed to be "LoJacks." Instead their main purpose was to help you locate a misplaced item.
