Apple AirTags, launched in 2021, utilize Bluetooth and the Apple Find My Phone network to help locate items they are attached to. They offer a feasible solution for cyclists who are vulnerable to bike theft. A notable instance involved a journalist who successfully retrieved his stolen cargo bike using an AirTag hidden in the frame. He tracked the bike's location to a car, although he advised others to contact authorities for safety before attempting retrieval. AirTags serve as reliable, affordable GPS-like trackers that enhance the security of personal belongings.
"Ten minutes after I left the building, the bike was on the move. First, the AirTag pinged at another block of flats the other side of a park."
"Jim Waterson describes how he managed to track down his stolen bike to a certain location and, luckily, found it being transferred to a car and reclaimed it."
