Apple’s AirTag helped German police recover a stolen bicycle with a sleeping child on March 24 in Hamburg. Officers tracked the bike to a nearby store within minutes, turning a potential abduction into a short-lived scare.
Parents left their four-year-old asleep in a bicycle trailer outside a shop on Kieler Street, expecting a quick stop. When they came back, the bicycle and the child were gone, and police launched a large search with patrol cars, motorcycles, and a helicopter.
