Has anybody actually genuinely lost something outside, in the wild and found it with an AirTag yet?

I found my dog but the airtag is lost even though I see it on the map. I think someone found it and left it at their apartment, either stealing or not even knowing what it is
Put it in lost mode, so they can tap it with their phone (NFC) to get your contact info to return it.
tried that. Guess they don’t know how it works but since it keeps updating, but hasn’t been moved in weeks! It must be close to an iOS device.
The interesting thing is, I seem to get SO CLOSE because it turns from starting a route via Apple Maps to the green icon (forgot what it is called) but just keeps saying „searching for signal“ which makes me believe it is inside of the building

Find me a cellular carrier that will allow you to activate and provision service for a device with an eSIM for free.
You're paying a one-time-fee for a device, it won't have a provisioned cellular service.

That's why I didn't buy them.
