I just got my electric scooter back thanks to my AirTag! I tracked it to the thief's house and saw him taking it inside, the right moment at the right time. Called the police after an initial report that lead to nothing, but they did take action this time when I tell them as a witness I saw him, they questioned him and basically they could tell he had it, and retrieved my $800 scooter and took the guy in handcuffs.

You can easily disable the speaker on your Airtags. While they will still receive the notification and map view, but the speaker will not work, and you will have valuable information on the location of your bike. It is not enough for a search warrant or probable cause, but it can certainly help.
@34JohannesHeinz34 5 ай бұрын
I don’t get it. The thief will get notified that he’s being stalked by a tag. The thief might not hear the tag if the speaker is disabled but the thief will still know that there is a tag somewhere on the bike. Even if the tag is hidden it probably won’t take long to find it on the bike. Then the thief could easily just get rid of the tag and perhaps put it on a random van or truck. The owner of the bike would then track down an innocent person’s vehicle and get in a really awkward and potentially dangerous confrontation. Or am I being stupid and missing something here? Please let me know if I’m wrong

Agreed! When out bike packing I got talking to a local guy in Scotland as we locked out bikes up. He said he had his stolen which shocked me as only a a fairly small town/village. He said he went in and told the manager. The manager gave him a lift in his car - they went hunting for the bike. They managed to find the thief - a teen lad - and get the bike back. An air tag would def have helped there to make it easier to hunt the thief down. It might not help all cases but I can see many where it would. Not all thieves are super pro - can be opportunists.

The government needs to take theft seriously and not just give thieves a slap on the wrist or even no punishment at all. I have had things stolen at least half a dozen times, and it always scares my wife and makes me paranoid about any sounds at night. They really have to track down thieves and deliver strong justice to them, ankle monitors and curfews for a first offence, not just giving them probation to not get caught for 90 days. Everything is so expensive nowadays, and replacing a bike or camera or phone takes so much work to cover the cost and hassle of replacing something. I got a security camera for safety, and they smashed the cage around it and stole the camera, luckily they had their face in front of the camera and had a facial tattoo so were easily identified and got put away for 6 months. The police weren't even going to pursue it till I kept pushing for it, they really didn't care till I complained, but it still took 18 months to get them and I still didn't get my camera returned, or the cage fixed.

There is so much information left out of this video: Removing the speaker from an AirTag is trivial, it removes the audible alerts and makes finding the tag harder, Tile stickers ONLY locate when they in in proximity to a phone whose owner uses Tiles while AirTags ping off of every iPhone out there. There have been billions of iPhones sold, how many Tiles users are there? Another point to make is that there is NOTHING you can put on a bike that would give a police officer probable cause to enter a domicile without a warrant to retrieve a bike, an AirTag is still the best option. Also, forget the simple AirTag stealth accessories, I put an AirTag inside the bottom bracket area. It works fine there (carbon frame) and good luck trying to find it, much less remove it. I doubt a bike thief would have the specialized tools necessary to remove the bottom bracket. Are these options a guarantee? No, but they are the best we can do. Another point to make is that many bike computers (I use a Garmin) have an alarm mode that will alert your phone/watch if someone moves your bike (you must be within Bluetooth range), this is the only device that I have had to use. I was in a fast food place when someone moved my bike (it was only to make room for their bike) but I was alerted on my watch and darted outside to hear the bike computer alarm sounding. Again, not perfect but securing a bike is not a matter of using one device, it is a layered approach and the more layers, the better.

I keep a couple of those small little luggage padlocks purchased from the Dollar stores. I put these through the links on my chain to stop it from going over the chain ring. They're out of sight usually and will stop a thief from riding away on your bike only (they won't know what is stopping them at first). They are not the easiest to cut off either so don't lose the keys.

Hi, I have the same system but with a second 'sleeper' airtag hidden in the stem. In my opinion the kind of drug/alcohol addicted bike thieves in my town are very unlikely to have the skills and tools available to remove a tag from a tubeless tire and will likely just give up and dump the bike. Tubeless tires can be notoriously difficult to re-inflait even for experienced users and I doubt that the thieves will be carrying air bottles or co2 cartridges! 😆 The thieves are also getting covered with pink Muc-Off tubeless slime which shows up under UV! Let me know if anyone tries to steal your bike and what happens or if you think of anything to further improve the system

I use an Invoxia tracker. I saw it briefly in your video when you were highlighting other YT videos. I paid upfront for the version that has 2 years of included LTE tracking. Which means it has GPS, LTE and Bluetooth. It also has a very sensitive movement detector, so if anyone is outside messing with your bike while you grab a drink it will pretty much instantly notify your phone. I have almost nothing bad to say about it, aside for maybe the size. It obviously isn't as small as a tile or airtag, so hiding it takes more creativity. But it's also pretty obscure, so a thief may find it but will they even know what it is?

Spiral steel cable + combination lock (don't use the travel bike locks, they are nearly all crap!) That way I can lock the bike anywhere, in best case on to something. Additionally I would also remove the speaker of the air tag. Yes, the thief would still be informed, but even if he needs 5 more minutes to find the tag, that could already make the difference between loosing it or getting it back.

I think mostly you recognize a bike theft in minutes after it was stolen. Especially when usually you lock it properly, an AirTag is only a gimmick. But when going to a store and someone stole it, then this guy would recieve an notification after 15 Minutes. That is enough time to track down someone. Also you could disable the speakers by disconnecting them. Finding the AirTag is not that easy. There are many locations to hide them. Especially when it requires tools. An AirTag costs around 30 Euros. To rely a bike worth 3000 Euros is not a good idea, but it definitely gives an additional security.

Search warrants are a purely American problem. In France they strictly apply to the home - the police can search a car, a backyard, a garage… And people will not store a stolen bike in their flat, they’re too small and the risk is too high to link the stolen property to them if there is indeed a search warrant. For instance an Air Tag allowed the police to seize a hundred stolen bikes in a thief backyard. You can’t store this many bikes in a flat. And stalker mode does not work when the bikes are outside. Besides localizing the Air Tag along this many bikes stored together would be a nightmare. Moreover a pro thieve might just get rid of the bike rather than lose time searching for the device : they have power tools and can steal another bike in 30 seconds, that’s faster than localizing a well hidden Air Tag…

Great video but what would the regret be? The money spent?

The regret would be you may think you’ll get your bike back and have a safety net but could turn out it doesn’t help with shit.

yeah this was one of those things I figured out towards the end of the trip. But it would have been a real bummer to fly to iceland to bikepack and have my bike and all my gear disappear in Reykjavic a day before flying to the Westfjords. Worth the peace of mind for me. The other thing I did that felt silly was filter water - but there were tons of sheep so worth the small amount of inconvenience for the peace of mind.

I don't think it is, but I wasn't really willing to take the risk since I flew there for a 4 day bike touring trip. It would have been a real REAL bummer to have the bike and all my gear stolen the couple days prior to the start of the bike tour.

Why don't riders campaign for pack racing organisers to make a robust lock part of mandatory equipment? Then everybody has to carry one so there's no advantage to anyone.

This is an interesting idea. I guess a race director could make that call.

yeah but bike touring is a whole different story and the key is very small for this lock. things get put all over the place by the third or forth day bike touring and its difficult to continue to stay organized when your running low on blood in your brain.

You just need to stop calling your lock a lock. It’s a “training weight” or an “endurance accentuation device”. Honestly I’ve been sticking a u-lock in my belt for so long I don’t even notice it. Are you bikepacking in a Lycra kit? Maybe reevaluate things if that’s the case.

Hear me out. When the thief attempts to discover the air tag and ping it, it sends the owner the location of the ping, name and info of the iPhone that pinged it.
