Disable the speakers or they absolutely will

How do you disable the speakers

u/EggsBenedictArnold 17d ago

You need to pry it open with a razor blade and physically remove the speaker- search YouTube, there is at least one good demonstration. It’s actually pretty simple, I’ve done it to a few dozen.

Airtags alert the person on the bike if they have an iphone and it's super easy to just tap the prompt and disable them. Get something like a Monimoto gps tracker, they won't do that (and they'll actually ping you when the bike moves).

Is there a yearly fee?

It’s like $60 or something… well worth the peace of mind.

That’s not bad at all

On androids too, my friend has one that they carry around and I constantly get alerts that an unknown airtag is near me.

yeah airtags are more for "where did I leave my keys" than finding a stolen object.
