The owners of the apartment weren’t at home, according to the neighbors, so he couldn’t get the key fob back, but as he himself admits, being able to get so close was surprising and if they had been real keys, he could have insisted on their recovery.

In Applesfera, they also tell us cases: Reisa and her joker brother-in-law
At Applesfera, we have also seen the effectiveness of AirTags. User travel He told us in a comment your experience with your scooter and an AirTag.
One day while having a drink on a terrace with my family, I went to the bathroom and when I returned the scooter was not there. My family told me that they were in the conversation and hadn’t noticed it. I quickly looked at the search app and it detected it about 50 yards away. I approached and immediately passing through a portal the ultra-wide strip with the little arrow detected it. I walked in and he was parked there. The fucking of my brother-in-law (brother-in-law had to be) had hidden him from me for a joke, but he didn’t know I could locate him. Besides, he has Android, so it wasn’t his cell phone that gave me the job. So the nonsense helped me put the experience to the test and succeed with flying colors.
A story with a happy ending that, thanks to the owner’s ignorance that his brother-in-law was responsible for the disappearance, we can well tell as a true story. Further proof of the effectiveness of AirTags.
Clearly the ability to locate any item just by going into the Search app is really helpful. A versatile system that leverages the large number of Apple devices to collect location completely privately and securely and allow us to potentially find anything.
