CHICAGO (WLS) -- You may have heard of Apple AirTags and other new mobile tools that can help you find lost items -- but criminals can also use them to stalk and steal. The I-Team is finding out how you can avoid being tracked and followed.

Nationwide, there have been reports of Apple AirTags being planted on people and their belongings. They can even be used to help thieves steal cars.

For just under $30, you can buy an Apple AirTag and in just minutes, it is synced to your phone. The AirTags use an extensive network and the built-in Find My iPhone app to keep track of your wallet, keys or luggage or purse. But wrongdoers are seizing on the technology.

Consumer Investigator Jason Knowles tried out the AirTag, explaining: "I drove to Orleans and Oak and I have the Air Tag on hand. We will see if the AirTag tracks me."

She must've been very nice.

Does not matter, those magic bands you put on to enter the park (also hotel key and linked to your Credit card) track you the entire time you are on property. Your locations, spending habits, preferences, ect. They then can taylor a portfolio to your name and sell you crap online. They know where you are at all times on property. I used to keep a gun on me when I stayed on disney property and slid our luggage next to the door just in case they came for our daughter in the middle of the night.

I don’t understand how someone else’s AirTag (call them the tracker) could show up on the trackee’s phone?

If I buy and use an AirTag, it should be encrypted so that only I can track it, correct? How is it possible for someone else to see “my” AirTag?

This confuses me.

It wasn't the girl's tracker, it belonged to the perv who planted it on her.

Gaston family were on a day trip to Magic Kingdom when they made discovery

Madison, 17, and her mother, Jennifer, only found out about the AirTag four hours after they were first tracked

They went back to the theme park's parking lot before searching their car for the device, but to no avail

Madison continued to monitor the device's location on her iPhone through the remainder of the day

Mother and daughter alerted police but still don't know who the gadget's owner is

Hundreds of women across the U.S. have reported receiving notifications about AirTags they do not own tacking their every move

The devices can easily be hidden and report movement to owner's iPhone

They are placing the air tags on peoples' expensive vehicles in parking lots.

They can use this to then track your vehicle to your home, case it, then know when you're not home to make a move.
