Apple launched its item tracking accessories last year, and I believe you've heard a lot of stories about how AirTags help users solve their lost items. Now, a new story has emerged online — a man made a proper PowerPoint presentation to ask airlines to find his lost luggage, and eventually, he found it with AirTags.
Apple's item-tracking accessories work pretty well, and to be fair, it's becoming a necessary tool for tracking luggage when traveling.
A man named Elliot Sharod and his wife returned to the UK from South Africa on 17 April. They bought tickets for stays in Abu Dhabi and Frankfurt. However, due to the ongoing health crisis, they had to reschedule their flights to change a route. When they returned to The UK, their luggage was lost. Luckily, Sharod had AirTags inside his luggage.
Apple is making changes to AirTags and its lookup network to reduce tracking and other malicious behavior.
After discovering that the luggage had not reached the storage location, Sharod used the Find My app to discover that their luggage had gone to Frankfurt, but had never reached London. The couple was on a flight from Aer Lingus, which said the lost luggage would be delivered to Sharod's home address. However, only two of the three luggage were delivered to Sharod's residence.
Sharod complained several times over the phone and email, but did not provide any solution. Sharod also complained on Twitter, but the problem remained. He then took a different approach to this, creating a proper PowerPoint presentation with screenshots from the Find My app. The screenshots show the exact location of the package he lost using Apple's AirTags.
The man told CNN that the luggage, located in two different locations in Pimlico, had not been moved since April 21. He then contacted police and flagged the bag as stolen. Although the luggage didn't reach The Harod, AirTags did help find its exact location. It has to be said that Apple's AirTags are a great way to find personal belongings and lost luggage.
