I had (have?) a knog and an AirTag (hidden under the saddle) on a Surly Disc Trucker that was stolen.
I could see where it was and called only an hour or two after it was stolen. Cops were willing to drive by the property (on all sides) to try to get a visual, but unwilling to pull a search warrant. Bike wasn't visible from outside and It's in a fairly high-crime area of Chicago, so I do understand. But, still more than a little frustrating to know where it is (was), but not be able to recover it. At this point, I'm assuming the tags have been removed, but who knows?
