Renton police have issued a warning about an increase in stalking cases connected to Apple AirTags, with two recent incidents involving the illegal attachment of AirTags to victims' cars to track their movements. Stalking charges have been referred to the prosecutor's office in one case, while the other is still under investigation. A national class action lawsuit against Apple alleges that AirTags have become a preferred tool for stalkers and abusers. To stay safe, iPhone users can turn on 'Find My iPhone' to detect AirTags, while Android users can use the 'Tracker Detect' app.
