AirTags managed to help a local community in Ireland by tracking six stolen hanging plant baskets to a local address, which led to an arrest in January.

As reported by The Irish Mirror, Police Sergeant Pat Lyons told Judge Mary Dorgan that a number of baskets had been previously stolen, so AirTags had been placed into some new ones. Then, between May 29 and May 31 2023, these six hanging baskets and flowers, with a total value of €180/$195, were also stolen from Inch, a small village in County Cork, Ireland.
