If your cart is stolen by an iPhone user this would let him or her know that the cart is being tracked and I doubt it would take them long to find the tag and toss it in a pond or something.)

That's a shame because I am more worried about my cart (or my purse/wallet/etc.) being stolen than being lost, as I believe the former is more likely to occur than the latter.

Nope owner of air tag can track without notifying in lost mode. So no iPhone owner would know item is been tracked
