You evidently don't understand how airtags work. ANY IPHONE (or iPad or Apple laptop), NOT JUST THE AIR TAG OWNERS IPHONE, BUT ANY IPHONE, that passes it within the 0-30+ foot range will send the location to the cloud and it can be found with FIND MY. Of course if the thieves put it in a garage and either strip it for parts or NEVER take it out on the road you would be right unless a friend visits the thieves home with an iPhone on him or her.. ANY Apple device that goes near it will send it's location and there are billions of Apple Devices around the world. As I mentioned in another thread I have one on my cart and can 90% of the time see exactly where it is at any time because there are multitudes of iPhones everywhere. If there is no Iphone passing it for 2 miles eventually one will at mile 3. Yes, if there wasn't any iPhone that ever passed within up to 30 feet of it you'd be right but those chances are quite low out in the public (shhhhh, don't tell my wife .... just kidding, she's aware of it). Of course one won't be able to track their pet cockroach or rabbit on their property unless it runs out into the street where people are carrying iPhones. The range on AirTags is functionally infinite as long as there's someone with an iPhone nearby.
Some "pros and cons":
Apple AirTags are being used to track people. Here's what is being done about it : NPR
