I’m getting notified of a found AirTag but the AirTag is my own AirTag. I’ve verified the serial number is indeed my AirTag and it does show in my listed items in the FindMy app. Am I supposed to be getting that alert on my own AirTag?

Update: The Airtag was positioned in my bag directly behind the slot where my phone is kept and the white back side was coming in contact with top of my phone repeatedly. (which is the procedure to identify a tag when you've found one) Normal behavior, lol! But leaving the post here in case anyone else has the same issue. I'll move the Airtag to a different spot in my bag to fix that.

I just got an alert for my own tag, but the really strange thing is that it has my wife’s phone number as the owner. This is not correct. However she is on my iCloud family plan. Could Apple be testing Family Sharing with AirTags? If not then this is a bug.
