From Apple's site https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/02/an-update-on-airtag-and-unwanted-tracking/

Every AirTag has a unique serial number, and paired AirTags are associated with an Apple ID. Apple can provide the paired account details in response to a subpoena or valid request from law enforcement. We have successfully partnered with them on cases where information we provided has been used to trace an AirTag back to the perpetrator, who was then apprehended and charged.

So if you want to track someone, maybe go with some offbrand Chinese equipment rather than something that can be easily traced back to you.

We’re gonna have burner tags soon I imagine if not already.

I know someone whose '60s classic car was stolen a few weeks ago. It was recovered by use of tracking tags - the owner hid both an Apple AirTag and some no-name Android compatible tracker. The thieves found the AirTag and removed it, but the other tag succeeded.
