A bright shiny white button lying on the road outside caught my eye as I came home yesterday. When I picked it up it sang to me, and as I turned it over I saw it had an Apple logo. Tiny writing identified it as an Air Tag.
I’ve read that these are now permitted to be used by air travellers to trace where their luggage is, and guessed someone must have dropped it near our cottage. My first instinct was to simply toss it in the red rubbish bin, but investigation told me it cost $59 and I thought someone may be motivated to come looking for it. Knowing that it’s able to send its owner information about its location I was wary of taking it inside, and left it on the patio overnight.
A digital daughter warned me it was likely the owner might come knocking on our door, so today I took the Tag over the road and placed it on top of a lonely road cone. From our windows I can see it’s still sitting there shining in the sunlight.
Will someone claim their lost Air Tag
that’s meant to be inside their bag?

My nephew tells me car thieves use these devices.

What would they use them for? Do they put them on a car and then follow it until it’s available for stealing?

Yes, apparently that is how it is used.

I didn’t know until recently that those existed but they sound like a good idea considering the world wide fiasco that’s going on with luggage.

Yes, but the cost might be prohibitive for some people (though not apparently for car thieves).
