Criminals attaching Apple Air Tags to cars and ‘picking opportune time to steal’ them

A man from Detroit found an Apple Air Tag attached to his brand new Dodge Charger, believing criminals are using the trackers to "pick an opportune time to steal" the vehicle.

"[They want to] scalp the car for parts, that's the biggest thing in Detroit right now," the victim said of the criminal’s intentions.
