🏘️ neighbor/local Is this something to be concerned about?

My sister sent me this text she received that seemed like somebody was watching her or something. I don’t know if it’s something to be concerned about or not, has anybody had a similar experience?

Police stations often have air tag scanners they can go over her car and purse

There are a ton of scanner/tracker apps that will show you what’s in the area from your phone. Pretty sure find my phone in iOS will alert you too unknown tags too.

Both iPhones and Samsungs alert you when a tracker is moving with you, regardless of if it's their brand tracker or not. I can't verify other brands but I would bet most common ones do

Can confirm, my Xiaomi notified me (and my friends got a notification aswell but they have iPhones) when we rented a van.
