Apple AirTags linked to increasing number of car thefts in Canada

  • AppleĀ AirTags is a great product for users who want to keep track of belongings like their wallets and bags. But it seems the portable trackers are now being used for the theft of luxury cars.
  • A notice issued by Canada’s York Regional Police Auto/Cargo Department details how thieves are using the new Apple device to steal luxury cars, and warn people of the same.
  • After the trackers have brought the thieves to the target vehicle, tools like screwdrivers are reportedly used to enter the vehicles without setting off any alarms.
