Am l being tracked?

OK just had a quick Google and found this;-

If the OP or a friend has an iPhone 11 or 12 it will be notified via ‘anti stalking’ feature of an unknown AirTag nearby, thereby confirming if one is in the vehicle. AirTags are not real-time GPS trackers, they are reliant on the tag being in the vicinity of other iPhone users to relay a location - which is fine in a city, but patchy out in the sticks.

That looks small enough to fit inside an ECU during s repair.
Just thinking so many places a thing of that size could be squirreled away underneath a Defender and so hard to spot. It looks like Apple have given this some thought though (not necessarily for the Defender) with the ability to find unwanted devices with an iPhone.

You can get trackers off ebay that look just like std 12v relays

Milwaukee also do one much the same as the apple one the Milwaukee Tick, but not as high tech as the apple.

Anybody tracking you that uses a) a hidden phone and b) is too stupid to turn the ringer off probably isn't worth worrying about.

But then again...

Don't worry about them and they become successful however stupid they seem.

According to this, (And I know 10 10ths of fuck all about all this), it can sound if someone else's airtag get's in with your stuff or is separated from them.

I have a couple of them. They look just like relays, but don't work just like relays though. Nevertheless they are brilliant and can be used as both a tracker and a remote immobiliser. Although if you are IT savvy, you probably should switch the logging end point to be your own server, not their chinese one. (Not too hard to do and they include instructions)

Local garage will sort out why tracking problems, they have freakin' lasers
