I'll answer as a DVM. Recent article (I think WSJ) about a large number of pets eating the AirTag. Just a word of caution.

Crossfit owner wouldn't let me in and blew me off.
Going back on Friday with my former neighbor who's a highway patrolman.
Updates go come.

Wait what? You approached them and said your family pet went missing and the AirTag reports it's in your location. Do you mind if I look quickly?


And they said "no, you can't" ?

They didn't say it quite that nicely, but that's the gist of it.

What a jerk. I didn't think too highly of CrossFit owners to begin with but this makes me steam.


Our doggie day care won't allow Airtags due to other dogs pulling them off and swallowing them.

Hope you find your cat.

Do you mind sharing the name of the CrossFit location?

Yes, I mind.

I guess responses online can always be misinterpreted, but something tells me I may understand where the crossFit person was coming from.

Good luck.

Or he just doesn't want the owner of the CrossFit location finding out about this thread. I don't see anything wrong with not sharing that info.

You might be right.

Speaking for myself, but I'd say

"Id prefer not to share it. I don't want the owner of the CrossFit location finding out about this thread."

I'm done trying to help. He can have his police buddy can solve the case of the missing family cat.

Right there with you. No need for him to reply like he has.

If he does "mind", maybe he shouldn't have taken the time to start this thread in the first place.

Well, yeah, that's a good point. Then again, this is TexAgs. I'm just here to see how this wraps up.

I don't know you and I have no idea what you would do with the information. I wasn't trying to be rude to you. If you wanted to help in some specific way, you could have DMed me.

GMAFB. When the heck would you ever just respond "I mind" in person to someone asking a question like they did.

If I had that poster's background I would tread a little lighter on here.

Several points.

1) I DMed Evan to explain myself and apologize it I came off rudely. I was stopped at a light and read his message, started to write back, then hit post too soon. I didn't have a chance to write back until several hours later. I did not want to share the info because I've seen what a rampaging TexAgs can do when given public information and no regard for real-life consequences. Sometimes it's to great effect, like exposing Barnes and the fake GoFundMe he set up. Sometimes it's not so great and people suffer for it.

2) I'm not here to be rude to anyone. I just asked for help with the air tags. Life goes on and we've searched high and low for our cat. We rescued her from utter starvation in 2018 and she has been a beautiful part of our family for 5 years. We've gone through every step we could think of to try and find her, calling multiple area vets, the microchip company, animal shelters and on and on. You know how much it sucks when your kids ask you if you've heard about the cat every morning when you get up and you have to say no?

3) Thanks for anyone's help who lent a word of advice or a prayer for our cat. I'm going to go ahead and retire from this thread.

I can and have dealt with sort of similar issues and can say if my dog is missing and it says it's in some dirtbags building, he can give permission or not, but I'm going in and it's going to take less than 2 hours to make it happen. I've worked with rescue organizations and busted into private buildings after credible reports of animals in need. The only time it went to court the judge leg is go.

CrossFit homo is my number one goal for searching. You can often bribe nextdoor business to snoop from their side if it's set up that way. It just depends on how bad you want the animal back. Personally, I have almost no limit to what I'll do.
