Anti theft device for bikes...uses the find my app and apple airtag hidden in bike

On Kickstarter there is a tracker housing that holds a bunch of trackers including the apple airtag. Looks pretty damn cool!

The airtag from what I understand won’t work in this use case because it has anti-stalker features which will actually notify the thief there is an unknown airtag nearby or it will play a sound to make its presence known when away from the owner.

Would the other tag types work?

That would be after 8-24 hrs randomly! Seems like a long time to be without your bike or not knowing it was stolen...

You wouldn't have any association with this Kickstarter project would you?
