As if we don't have enough to worry about........another method that thieves are using to target our cars.

Man finds Apple AirTag tracker on his Dodge Charger

An Apple Air Tag is priced at four for $100 right now. You can stick them anywhere – attaching by Bluetooth to a phone to track, whatever they’re stuck on.

Works both ways. I keep one hidden in my Hellcat just in case it goes missing one day.

For Android users: Apple just released an app on the Google play store called "Tracker Detect" to see if you're being tracked by airtags. Android users: Get this Apple app if you don't want AirTags tracking you

Same here. So we will both have one then and whomever gets to the car first wins.

With the uconnect app you can see it any time.

UConnect isn't real time though. It can have anywhere from a 10 - 30 minute delay.

If you haven't put a hidden ignition kill switch in your Cat you are rolling the dice every time you leave it parked anywhere unsecured. period. Look at Copart or any auction site and you will find dozens of stripped hellcat frames for sale. It is sad to say but every cat has a huge target on it.

If you have an iphone or iPad, can you use it to scan your car for unfriendly hitchhiking airtags?

It seems like you can, but I don't own an iphone so I wouldn't know for sure

What to do if you get an alert that an AirTag, Find My network accessory, or set of AirPods is with you

AirTag lets you easily track things like your keys, wallet, purse, backpack, luggage, and more. Simply set it up with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and attach it to your item, and your AirTag shows up in the Items tab in the Find My app.

Local dealership had 2 Hellcat stolen this week
2 men came into the dealership asked to look at both Redeyes out front. Salesman goes out with them. They looked at it not driving them.
They returned the keys and left.
After the dealership closed they returned cut the chain on the gates and drove away.
Now how did they do that? Easy. The switched the key fobs. Gave the dealership a different key fob took the originals.

Thanks for the lead!

If I ever found one on my HCWB I'd have to take it off and put it on a Chevy Sonic or something parked across the street, just to see the look on the thief's face when they find their "hellcat"...

Put it on an FBI vehicle. You bet they will find whoever owns it. Put it in the gas cap door area.
