airtag to help alert for a theft?

Instead of keys or wallet those items I carry with me, what if I attach AirTag to my valuable item that I have kept at home, can I set an alert to me once that valuable item is taken out away from my home (for example, got stolen from my home and so I will be alert right away )

The airtag will beep alerting any thief to the tag’s presence.


Plus, FindMy only alerts you when the tag has simply been “Left Behind” (not moved WITH YOU), NOT when it’s simply been moved.


Air tags are NOT designed to be criminal investigative or alerting tools.
