15m is the range for BT in open air. With even one layer of metal in between, the range drops off immensely. It's not that hard to screen an airtag from the driver of a car. Whoops more info for the bad guys!

Again, AirTags are not designed for stolen objects. Placing you Airtag far from the driver reduces your chances to find the vehicle. Your AirTag must be detected by someone’s iPhone in order for you to find it. What you need is a GPS tacking device.I have my airtags placed in a location that a thief would not be likely to get an alert. It's a vehicle, a large vehicle, and the tag is not placed near the driver. So the thief is not likely to get an alert. Also, there is no scenario in which a beep would be useful to me. I'm not sure what your point is here but if I was using the device for stalking it is not likely I would post here on SB.
Seems like it would be detected by someone standing next to the car. Such as at a stop light or parking lot. Or by the driver when they got out, a condition where they would no longer be traveling with the car.Placing you Airtag far from the driver reduces your chances to find the vehicle.
