Apple AirTags for Boat and Etc.
My neighbour had his cottage broken into last week. They found keys to the garage and stole two snowmobiles. And they are nowhere to be found. I got thinking, I could have been targeted as well and what could I do to catch these grease balls. Yes I have insurance and an alarm but what good is that when the police are 45 minutes away.
I’ve done my reading/research on the web and made calls to Apple. But there’s conflicting info from all sources. What I need is ‘your experience’ if you use AirTags. I want to hide them on our recreational equipment. I know how they work and how one can locate the AirTag. What I need to know is:
1. Is the thief notified on his iPhone that there is an Air Tag present when trying to steel via a message on his phone or a chirp from the actual AirTag?
2. Can the thief look at an app on his phone and scan the area for the presence of an AirTag?
3. Last question; is the Tile Pro an option I should consider over the AirTag? Yes I know it’s android compatible too.

Yes to 1&2, easily detectable if you want to know if an AirTag is present. In your case, I would say that is a good thing. I don’t see how this could fail for you.
If thief is clueless, then it’s easy to find your stuff, if thief is smart enough to scan for AirTag, then they will abort theft. Highly doubt a thief would take the time to search, dismantle to find a well placed tag. The key would be placing the tag in an area that requires some disassembly to locate.
AirTags combined with a few well placed security cameras should cut your risk significantly.
I know nothing about tiles.
Edit: found this article, for some background on AirTags.
