Airtags only have bluetooth range but they will ping any nearby phone, even if that phone has no interest in the tag ... the location then goes into the Apple system and the Tag owner can retrieve the location. That how you can put one in a garbage bag and track it around the world ... any Apple device within blue tooth range will pick it up and report the location to Apple.
Beeping a local unknown Airtag was recently added to help people determine if their car or whatever has a planted Airtag. Also a ton of more profession cell system, gps trackers that can report a location via the cell phone network back to the trackers owner.

There's gotta be an app for Android users that detects any airtags that might be within that 100ft radius, so you can walk around your car (or anything else) and check?

When we were at Universal Studios in Orlando my daughter kept getting a notification that an air tag was traveling following her. We looked everywhere for it. In her clothes, suitcase, purse, etc. never found it.
Apparently the car was stolen on the way being transferred to Homeland Security. The car is part of a chop shop investigation in Houston, maybe they were shipping over seas as mentioned? |

But I don't know if it can make them beep to find them defacto . If not ,,, at that point you could have a friend with iPhone come over and make it beep. |

Also, I am glad they got a taste of their own medicine. Insurance companies are just "legal" thieves.

I'm gonna try Tracker Detect on my android and see how that works. Apparently Airguard might be a better app, but will see.

Makes me even happier that I drive an 11 year old POS with 102,000 miles on it.
If I go outside this morning and it's gone I'll be more pissed off about the Leatherman that's in the glovebox that I lost than the car! On a serious note you have to love this new technology when a guy with a USB cable and cell phone can drive away in your $100,000 car in less than a minute!..........
