There was another FR thread about car thieves doing this so they can grab the car when it gets home.

I’m a bit lost at why anyone would steal a new Dodge..... oh wait. Strip for parts. The new ones need lots and lots of replacement parts.

Posted 2021 but he says NEW 2018.

Nice running car but not exotic. Basically competes with regular old Mustang GT.

I’m pretty sure 99% of new car buyers aren’t aware many if not most new cars are sold with a hidden location device similar to lo jak that tracks your car in the event you default on your car loan. Makes it easy to locate and repossess. There is away to disable it if you know how.

Don’t believe me? Google it.

There is a countermeasure, a device that detects air tags on your personal items including vehicles.

A hacker is going to set them all off at once; it will be a TikTok challenge.

The cure for this is not to be hung up on competitive status symbols and drive something that runs great but looks like crap. Something no one would want to steal. Helps deter the bums from hitting you up in the Walmart parking lot too.

Saw a video where a guy out in the sticks had some things stolen from his property. He put Apple air tags on a few things he figured would get taken if the theif came back which they did.

He tracked them to their house and called the sheriff. Ended up getting everything back plus money for a damaged security camera as well as an apology.

Oh, a Dodge. Well, that is one very proactive tow truck operator, right there.
