An Apple AirTag placed in the suitcase of a newly married man helps police discover that his missing bag was wrongly donated to charity by Air Canada.
The AirTag eventually showed that the suitcase was in some type of storage facility where, said Rees,"it sat there for a month, two months, three months. No movement, nothing from Air Canada." After calling Air Canada and getting nowhere, the couple decided to take matters into their own hands. So they headed to the storage facility and Rees said that when they arrived her husband used a flashlight to look through different storage rooms until he found one piled up with luggage.
Not sure what they were looking at, the couple rang the police and were stunned to learn what had happened to their bag."Our luggage was donated to a charity on behalf of Air Canada because they deemed it lost even though we were tracking our luggage for the last four months,” Rees said. In the storage facility, the cops found over 500 bags with some containing iPhone handsets, iPad tablets, laptops, and yes, even more AirTag trackers.
Air Canada did reimburse the newly married couple for a quarter of the value of the three weeks' worth of clothing that was wrongly donated to charity by the airline. It doesn't seem fair, does it? But Rees says that the airlines will continue to get away with doing things like this unless customers speak up."Because they will not do anything and they will not change until enough people start spreading the word, we need this to be huge because this is wrong and this is criminal.
As for the Apple AirTag, this time it was cast as the good guy, the tool that helped break the case. Perhaps Apple TV+ will soon stream a show called AirTag PI.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
