We all hate the moment we realize an Apple product has been stolen, even though we have all the security measures and remote location that its services give us. Sometimes we make mistakes like leaving the iPhone on a bar table, or leaving a MacBook in sight inside our car. In some places it is a last phraseI guess you understand.
But it’s even more heinous when you find out that even leaving that MacBook (or any other Apple device) out of sight in the car, it was still stolen. How did they know he was there? Have you tried your luck choosing your car and were you right? I got the answer from a recent interview I got from one of my clients.

Lithium knows no hiding places
Said customer, who agreed to let me tell this fact but prefers to remain anonymous, told me that some thieves have a very “useful” device wherever there are many parked cars: a lithium detector.
Thus, there are people who walk in the car parks of large shopping centers or hypermarkets with these detectors, which notify you if there is an electronic device with a lithium battery nearby. This way they know which car they should get into and discard those where there are no valuable devices.
This practice is very common in some places, but the client told me that the police in cities like Barcelona (at least the officers he spoke with) were surprised because they hadn’t seen this practice. This, combined with the rather poor surveillance of some car parks, turns into days with up to “dozens” of open cars.
Moral: don’t leave your MacBook, iPhone or iPad in the car even if you hide it so you don’t see it. the lithium battery keeps giving it to some thieves and their detectors. And remember that in any case, you must protect it with a lock password and add it to the search network. AirTags can also help you with other valuables.
