Looks like admins deleted one of those posts and now it looks like you are calling out Jeffvisor for putting an air tag in his car.

Deleted, and banned him.

And yes, all the posts then get renumbered.

Good job on laying down the banhammer; it was sorely needed.

I'll update. ?

@NachoCheez I'm glad you got some closure on this. If you can, please update your first post with the resolution. Hope it turns out the way you want (be it a repair or an insurance write off).

i've got a question about people using AirTags... i've never investigated it because all the AirTags we own belong to family members, so when this dialog comes up i just dismiss it.

can someone with an iPhone just make the AirTag stop tracking when you get the "AirTag seen moving with you" dialog on your iPhone? if so it seems to me even removing the speaker from the AirTag isn't enough to prevent someone from disabling it. in fact they wouldn't even have to find it if they got that dialog and were able to disable tracking.

relevant to me as i also live in oakland

No they can't disable, they can however find it. So putting it inside the gas tank is best. (joking)
Actually, they can disable it physically, if found.

Or oyu could unbolt the frunk tub, glue something to the outside of the tub to hold the AirTag, then insert the airTag into the holding device and bolt the frunk tub back in. ??

I'll probably get some along with the pelican 'case'. Attach that so the battery can be charged next year. They're not lifetime by any means so you at least need to be able to get to it as well.

Well I finally saw the car yesterday. The guys at the dealership (had to tow it there because no keys and the windows were down for 3ish days) were impressed with my level of chill.

When I saw it come in on the bed, it didn't look terrible. But a closer look revealed back end damage, quarter panels on both sides buckled, parking sensors smashed. Front had some minor paint scuffs. They broke the rear view mirror casing and pulled the cameras out, cracked the windshield in the process. The center screen is cracked and doesn't function. There's water puddled inside and they broke one of the air vents. I'm sure there's more damage... But even more fun wasl Along with the above damage,

Items found in my car
Case of tequila
A hair weave, that I thought was ropes
Size 14 sparkly shoes
Size 13 combat boots
Human feces
Mud, lots of it
None of my things
Two wife beaters
Every kind of food crumb

That's terrible, what a bunch of savages... heartbreaking.
What's the insurance saying?

 

[HuntingPudel]

Ugh, how can people do these kinds of things? I am so sorry you had to go through this. I hope your insurance company treats you well. ??

I hid an Apple Airtag in my car if it gets stolen at least it can be tracked.

Hopefully you removed the speaker from the Airtag first. ALWAYS remove the speakers from Airtags you don’t want found to track down items that can be stolen. Only leave them in if you are using them for something like a keyring to find your keys.

I also recommend planting TWO airtags because when the thieves find the first one they assume that was the only one.

They're going out today I'm waiting on a quote from Ford, but yesterday the guy at ford helping me said between the electrical, cameras, casing, rear view and new windshield that's probably in the 10k range. The bumper, quarter panels, sensors and labor around probably around 10-12 k and the touchscreen, is 2k plus labor. Plus the keys.

At this point I want them to total it. It was so gross inside. The water damage, plus just the thought of these animals taking a crap in the car makes me never want to drive it again.
