I do not think that somebody will track me with a physical tracker, but still nice to have some protection.

If you keep an AirTag in your car, would it alert a thief that they were being tracked if they stole your car?

I've been told that it already does if they are iphone users

There should be a way to register it to property somehow. Might not be feasible for bikes and such but cars generally have Bluetooth or some sort of connection

There’s also an Android app Apple put out that will alert you, but the downside is, you have to have it running constantly for it to do so.
