US Police Warn Those Driving to Canada to Watch for Hidden AirTags on Their Cars

[Jerry]

If you're road-tripping to Canada, keep an eye out for AirTags, which
criminals are using to track and steal cars, according to Vermont police.

Common hiding spots for the trackers are under a car's windshield wipers,
in its front grille, or inside a vehicle that was left unlocked.

According to law enforcement in the state, a number of people have found
hidden AirTags on their vehicles after making road trips to Canada, 9to5Mac
reports. Authorities believe the AirTags are being placed on the vehicles
with the intention of eventually stealing those vehicles.

Apple notifies iPhone users if it detects an unknown AirTag traveling with
you. The company has also released an app for Android users that allows
them to manually search for the trackers.

Apple is facing a class-action lawsuit over this, which a judge recently
allowed to move forward, finding that the plaintiffs had enough proof for
their claims against Apple for negligence and product liability.

What's so special about stealing cars in Canada, vs. stealing them in
the USA?

May US citizens shoot thiefs on sight, while in Canada owners are asked
to hand them over the papers as well and keep the cars unlocked for
easier access?

The port of Montreal is used to ship stolen cars in containers to
Africa, South America and the Middle East. This has resulted in a lot
of auto theft over the past decade in the Toronto/Montreal corridor.

You pack a lot of nonsense into a few words.

Apparently so does the Toronto Constabulary. They got shamed for it
and had to back track.
