The person who parks an air-tag anywhere, installs the tracking app on their computer.
The tag was 'inherited' from another family whose son had the same sized shoes - so naturally one swaps shoes with someone who has the same shoes - LOL. Kids nowadays. OK, but how come suddenly the tracking-alerts appear on Florida-mom's computer? They should have been appearing on Oklahoma-mom's computer. As is admitted in the article:
Unbeknownst to them, they were inadvertently tracking Aidan (florida), not their own son (oklahoma).
Then the crunch:
she is now considering using AirTags
[Smacks forehead].
I note also the comments are non-reactive to the content, and self-promoting their 'get-rich-quick' schemes.
Yeah this is industrial writing, by a person with no logic. It is meant to convince you of the utility of the totally innocent, trust-me-bro airtags.
Bought a used truck from an acquaintance. Their son left his airpod earbuds in the backseat passengers side door of the truck. He swore to his parents someone had stole his earbuds. They tracked the earbuds to my mechanic, where I had brought the truck for some maintenance and then to my neighbors house when I brought it home. The people I bought the truck from had never been to my house. They then drove to my neighbors house and question them about the earbuds. The truck, with the earbuds still in the back passengers side door was actually in my garage and not at my neighbors house but the locator said it was at my neighbors house. They didn't believe my neighbor didn't have it because my neighbors son, who was a recovering addict, all tattooed up answered the door. They left saying they didn't truly believe that the airpods weren't there.
I found the earbuds while detailing the truck a week later and returned them to the friend I bought the truck from. This is how I heard about the story above. I felt really bad for my neighbors son because the guy had really turned his life around with the help of his parents and has been clean and out of trouble for almost 2 years now, they are great neighbors. I can only imagine the doubt and fear his parents had about their sons recovery after this incident.
It makes total sense. When AirTag first came out, assholes started using them to stalk and track their victims. When this came out, Apple added a feature to the AirTag. If an AirTag is on someone (ie, their phone within range) over 8 hours (IIRC) with the owner not around, they will get this message on their phone informing them that they have an AirTag near them. The owner does not get this message….the potential victim does.
I just worked with a guy whose wife put an AirTag on his business bag so he wouldn’t lose it. I received this message on my phone and asked if he had an AirTag on him. He said “yes” and that everyone he works with will get this message at the end of the day. I was confused as I work with an AirTag on me and nobody ever got that message. Figured out that it was because it was under his wife’s phone, not his. Told him to tell her to add his name (phone) so it won’t happen anymore.
Story does not make sense.
