Stolen SUVs and Trucks

No need to get political.

I can safely say nobody here watches To Catch a Smuggler. Been going on for years out of the port in Miami and New Jersey and the rest of them.

The Cartel is always a step ahead and always will be. It is a cat and mouse game to catch them.

i've watched it. lol
def some inside work going on in and outside of this country
I know people that do import/export all it takes is money and then there are plenty of blind eyes
even then whole containers can come up missing
just remembered this as well, that one guy I know has to have a vehicle in the container for some legal reason otherwise he is screwed, doesn't matter the value of the vehicle, age or condition. I'll have to ask him again next time I see him what the details are he sends out electronics but the container has to have a car for some reason, some kind of rule in Nigeria. The cost's are not cheap I think it runs him about 20k to get a container over there.
It might have something to do with getting the electronics in without some other fee or something, perhaps a exception of some type

ya all that stuff going on increase cost of goods, then in one of those countries the clothing workers went on strike so cost of clothing is going up already, you know higher wages means higher production cost

I use at least one in all of my vehicles, trailers and boats, along with a third party tracker in the more valuable. AirTags are a quick way to get an update on where your vehicle is. They use the cellular network relayed from an iPhone or Apple product. Given the popularity of Apple products, none of mine have failed to update, even in the vehicles I have in storage, since there is always someone on the property walking around. About 25-30 feet is the pickup distance. You can't beat them for $25/each.

Be aware that your Apple bearing passengers may receive a notice on their iPhones that lets them know there is an AirTag traveling with them, so don't plan on keeping it a secret if you transport friends.

If they think I'm being paranoid tracking my vehicles, ask them if they would have liked help locating their vehicle if they forgot where they parked at the shopping center, or would like to know if their mechanic is taking joy rides in their cars after repair. That usually works.

P.S. Battery life is usually about 2 years.

Thank you for that information. Very good to know!

Why didn't onstar disable his SUV once it was reported stolen? Once it gets out of north America does it not work?

What'd be the Android version of the AirTag?
Asking for those of us that don't want to risk having our mouths sewn to another Appl user's butt.

DogTags. (laughing emoji)

You obviously hate Apple, but they’re pioneering new ideas and have had AirTags for several years while g**gle is scratching their heads.

AirTags work on Androids running 6.0 and above. The rumor continues to circulate that Android will come out with their own version.

Apparently, one of the fitst steps pro thieves do is disable the OnStar communications.

Pretty sure all you have to do is rip off the shark fin antenna.

That might work. Someone would need to test for certain. It could only reduce coverage as in driving into an underground garage.
