I would imagine we’re going to get third party bike seats very soon where you can hide an airtag inside. The marketplace for accessories is going to be huge.
Got a tip for us?

I’ll have to give this app a try. I never heard of it before. So thanks for telling me about it!
I was thinking about this as well.
I want to buy Airtags I just don't know what I would attach them to.
I see many here say keys, luggage, or bag as the more popular items.
I don't have a backpack so no bag for me.
Don't travel that much and when I do, it's a carryon.
As for keys, well knock on wood I don't lose them but I don't see an Airtag on them either.
I'm sure my kids would get a kick out of them though, especially engraved, LOL.
I know I don't need them but I'm sure I'll still cave in and get some.
Sigh...

It seems to also be tied to movement. You do get a head start on a thief (if you notice its gone right away) but its not long. Better than nothing though
I think if it’s been with a thief for that long anyway. It’s unlikely you’re getting it back tracker or not. So it’s certainly a reasonable balance in my opinion
Ah yes, the "I've never lost it before, therefore I'll never lose it in the future," argument. Boggles my mind how many people buy into that fallacy. I haven't ever lost my keys either, but I prefer to subscribe to "Past results are no guarantee of future performance."
Ding ding ding ding! This is my thinking as well. There have been occasions where in the morning I got in the car and drove half way to work, just to think "did I remember to bring my backpack?" Or when I'm traveling I'll have that panicked moment, usually after returning the rental car and on the shuttle to the airport, of "Did I leave something at the hotel or in the car?" In both cases I'll be able to just open the Find My app and quickly see if the things I care about are with me or not, without having to frantically open my bags in a moment of manic paranoia.
The traveling one is especially true for my keys. I bring my keys with me when traveling, since I obviously need them to get to and from the airport. But while on the trip I will leave them in my backpack. After a week of not having them in my pocket all the time, I get paranoid that I left them somewhere, even though I've never actually done that. Again, enter AirTags to provide some peace of mind.
I've been driving since 1993 and have never "lost" my keys on my own. My wife however insists on not taking her spare key for my car off the keyring in the kitchen...no she has to take my main keys. She then proceeds to not return them by leaving them in her purse or jacket pocket. For me the airtags will end the arguments regarding where the keys are.
In the absence of outside forces, I've found that my keys seem to stay put where I placed them.
As for travel, you hit the nail on the head. I've put an airtag into my GoRuck GR1 for this very reason.
When I had a dog, this would have been great. Luckily we were always able to find her.
That being said, I haven't ordered any air tags yet. I don't really lose my stuff. I suppose I'd still like to get some because they are undeniably cool especially with the accessories you can buy. The hermes is really nice although I don't think I will buy given the price.
I will probably put one on my bag, and maybe one on my iPhone

That is a great article. Thanks for the heads up.
There's a guy on Twitter (he works for Moment) who shipped an AirTag to four employees via FedEx and he's currently tracking their progress.
Too bad we didn’t have AirTags back then, would’ve made finding Carmen Sandiego a breeze.
Put an AirTag on both cats, bigger one looks grumpy and the little one is only 10 months old so she'll grow into it ?.
Doesn't look too bad, they aren't complaining or even bothering with it after wearing it for an hour so that's a good start.
Was only a cheap silicone one on eBay but the build quality honestly isn't too bad, and the AirTag fits in very snugly while the battery side is fully covered.
Coco my 10 month old.
Chloe, whos about 9yrs old.

Prior to Airtags, I used Tile and the tile wallet card. How will you attach an Airtag to your wallet ?
I got 1 for now, I'm not sure if I want to put it in my wallet or my purse or my backpack lol. I'm excited to figure it out once it comes in.
