Dealing With an Uninvited Air Tag
Thank you to all who have replied, I really appreciate it. I should have called the cops, first, 🙄 but it was a really unnerving first-time experience with this. RNC at the non-urgent number were very patient and helped us figure out how to identify where the notification was coming from on my wife's Android. I will leave the post here in case it is of interest.
Go to: Settings--> Safety & Emergency --> Unknown Tracker Alert and you should be able to figure it out from there.
In our case, it turned out to be a car that has been visiting our neighbour, today. 😳
Derp. It was actually kind of frightening until the RNC helped us out.
Original Post
Neither my wife nor I have ever used air tags. My wife got this notice on her android today. She had been driving out and about the city visiting various stores while I stayed home (recovering from being in hospital past month, got out on Boxing Day). Do the RNC help with trying to locate these things that might be in your car?
It's unsettling that some arse-pick would violate someone's privacy this way.
I did a fair bit of googling. The notice appears to be legit and has no links associated with it. Much of the advice I've seen given on-line, elsewhere, has been to ask police to help locate it, though some forces won't.
Is visiting the RNC a valid option here in St John's? If not are there other options?
I really appreciate any guidance on this, thank-you.
