Not sure yet where these will be handed out. Part of me thinks that these will be like COVID shots and they will initially all be scooped up by people living in Ward 3, but I can't say that I really blame them. Their vehicles are being stolen as well. But I can see a scenario where in the name of equity, DC says that you don't get an air tag unless you live elsewhere.

Also, the air tags will not prevent carjackings, just the recovery of your crashed up, rolling drug den of a vehicle.

There was an article in the Post about a Capitol Hill woman who was carjacked.  When the police showed up at her home, they watched as she used her Airbag to track the moving vehicle across DC.  MPD said that, even though the vehicle could be located in real time,[b] the police were not allowed to pursue the vehicle with the carjackers inside.  [/b]

So the DC government can engage in its latest performative gesture by giving away Airtags or the equivalent.  But this will be ineffective while the woke left on the DC Council continues to prioritize the rights of criminals above those of crime victims and the general public.  It's past time to empower the police.[/quote]

What is the rationale for this? Insane![/quote]
They will run over innocent pedestrians or hit other vehicles. Call the police or go find it with them once it had stopped. Nobody else needs to be killed because you want your vehicle back. Usually the suspects are bad drivers as they get to drive only when they steal a car and every car is different.
I remember using a steering wheel lock. Nobody bothered with such vehicle.[/quote]

Ahhh... The choir of apologists appear. You are correct. If we just used steerwwheel locks. By golly we would have this crime wave licked.

What??? No one is apologizing for these morons but I absolutely do not want to be killed crossing the street on the way to work so you can get your Audi back. GEt real. That's what insurance is for.[/quote]
