I have not done any homework yet on these things.
I actually plan on getting three and putting one in each of the E23, E9 and Mustang.
Kind of a new version of Lojak - maybe - for the 21st Century.

Will see what happens....
If anyone has any ideas - would love to hear them.
Will let you know what I end up doing.
Keep in mind that AirTags work by leveraging the sheer scale of iPhones out there. Other phones pick up their signals and pass on the location — built into the OS. Tile has the same basic technology — but not the same network (requires other people to have the Tile app installed). There are devices that have gps and cell connections, so can work independent, but they cost a lot more and have higher power needs (AirTag batteries last over a year…)

We have a few AirTags - we have them in keychains and in luggage now…
