Apple AirTag Helps Owner Recover His Stolen Motorcycle

Thanks to a new Apple product, the AirTag has helped an owner recover his stolen motorcycle.

For Android users (such as myself) who are not in the loop, Apple’s new AirTags works as a tracker, which updates the location of the AirTag to the iCloud service by anonymously connect to nearby Apple devices via Bluetooth.

The airbag was developed to help locate small items such as keys, bags and pets from getting lost, but Apple owners have begun experimenting with bigger things, in this case, a motorcycle.

According to reports, Brandon could locate his Kawasaki Ninja using the AirTag after it had been stolen last week.

Brandon decided to hid one AirTag in his motorcycle after having his previous bike stolen earlier this year.

He managed to locate the motorcycle using the Find My app and drove to the location before finding his beloved machine abandoned by the thieves.

The owner then proceeds to file a statement to the police and recover the bike without any damage.

According to Brandon, the thieves might have abandoned the motorcycle after receiving notification that a tracker was following them. (The AirTag notifies anyone with an iPhone that it is travelling with someone that isn’t the owner).
