Where on your bike is your AirTag?

I had one in the saddle bag. And just as well, because I ended up with a flat shifter battery (CR2032) and nobody else had a spare one. Then I remembered I had the airtag in the saddle bag and raided that for the battery and borrowed a screwdriver from the Mavic mechanic so I could get the SRAM shifter battery compartment open.
Lucky. I had a long descent and was in a pretty low gear. So that got me down into Nice from the top of Col de Braus.

If your bike gets stolen solely because you anonymously posted on an obscure thread where the not-really-a-tracking-device is on it, I feel like the thief sort of deserves the bike at that point. Especially considering it'll be locked up most of the time.
Do You know that whatever you wrote does not make any logical sense whatsoever, don’t you? In fact it proves my point.

A bike thief is stupid. Period.
A smart thief is already going to think of all the likely hiding spots on their own, and the stupid thief isn't cruising MacRumors for tips on bicycle theft.
Spotted this recently. Has great sound dampening too apparently. https://www.hellomaco.com/products/trace
Sound dampening?
And it’s $32 CAD?!? You can similar things on Amazon for half that.
They're annoying, probably immoral (but desperation might drive it) and some might be stupid but not all.
I thought bad guys used Android. Would they get an alert too?
I ride only-
never owned a car and pedal over 500 miles per month easily.
the only time i will depend on an airtag in my saddle bag on the Trek Verve 2
is when i park that on a beach railing on Marco Island
this way when a bored "mall-cop" wants to relocate the bike i know where that is.
so far for 4 years this never happened.
i like the hidden bell trick, nice!
