Let’s say that these AirTags, have already paid for their entire existence, as well as many other devices of the kind. These locators helped recover US$7,000 worth of photographic and computer equipment stolen from a tourist on vacation in Australia.
The nightmare began when he realized that his car had been robbed and the suitcase with the equipment had disappeared. And now?
Apple's AirTags have brought a new level of location accessories to everyday life. The Find My network uses the millions of iPhones spread across the planet as an information point when they pass by the AirTag. Anonymously, the iPhone informs the Find network of the location of the lost AirTag. Next to it, the lost or stolen object will be closer to being recovered.
Tourist was robbed in Australia
A photographer's worst nightmare is finding out that their kit has been stolen or gone missing. In the present case, a tourist who was on vacation in Sydney, realized that his material had disappeared, but it had a happy ending.
Graham Tait was on holiday in South Australia in early May, but while he was in a hotel, his photographic material was stolen. In the bag was his laptop, a Sony camera, his wallet, a GoPro and other equipment valued at about 7 thousand dollars (about 6700 euros). The car was robbed and everything was taken.
My car was broken into while we were traveling in the Flinders Ranges last night and they took a laptop bag and camera – both items had AirTags installed.
