like the Thief was given the option to turn the Air Tag off (was not clear)?!?!?!
If he/she finds it and WHEN (ping comes after APPLE detects home based on their Iphone most often locations/maps/home info in contacts) the Only way to turn it off is by removing the battery , or if they throw it away....
What i don't get is this : If we activate "lost mode" b4 they get the ping @home , wouldn't their Iphone inform them right away that there is an Airtag travelling with them ??
Or r this 2 totally separate things , and "Lost mode" only tells the owner the location info of whatever Iphones are nearby the airtags ? That could be the case, then the ping activates at the home location.
They can also use a Bluetooth scanner to scan for Bluetooth devices before they take the whatever it ...is bike or luggage but the Airtags change their Bluetooth ID often and if you don't name them "airtag"
they would not now but maybe if you do named it "airtag" they will not bother and not take whatever it is, bike/bag/car...
What i'm not sure of : Once "lost mode "enabled will their Iphone show that He's an Airtag attached near them ? Does that iPhone has to have Bluetooth on ??
This site in depth explanation raises other Q's .
Here's how to find an AirTag and disable it if you've had a notification that an AirTag is detected near you.

Only a escape for them would be to do this in a place that is not their home so let's say hypothetically they take the bike and then they stop somewhere you know like in a garage / park and they go open the frame and open the motor /battery and dig under the fork headset to look for the Airtag , all within a couple of hours or less. Maybe within 2hours.
B/c the Airtag can easily fit in all of those places ! Actually it looks like a very nice headset If you ask me, i might just paint it red and write the big S aka "SPECIALIZED"
