Well worth a look

Technically a car tag was done, since the dog was in the car.
I love the video and it went well... I just wonder if his buddy who hid the tags had an iphone on him, if he did then the buddy's iPhone likely marked the location of the tags and you can see that when he begins searching the map shows the basic location of all 3 tags immediately... i wonder if it depended on strangers walking by if it would pop so fast in that big park, it seems you need to be within 15 ft (pretty close) for it to ping the tag.
maybe they did this (unclear) but a real test would be to turn off your iphone / all apple devices THEN hide the airtag somewhere in the city / park, leave the area then turn your phone back on. then for sure you know you are depending on strangers to locate the tag, rather than the hider themselves.

Shows if somebody did steal your car you would have enough time to locate it before it let the person know. Great video.
