‘My Car Got Airtagged:' Woman Goes to Police After Being Warned Her Car Is Being Tracked. What Should You Do if This Happens?
A woman on TikTok claims her car was AirTagged—and says that neither the police nor staff at the location where it happened were very helpful. Savannah Phillips (@thatsavchick) said she was at a golf course when she discovered the AirTag, though she hasn't shared exactly how she was alerted to it. As of this writing, her initial video about the incident has gathered over 2.6 million views. She has not yet posted a follow-up confirming whether the device was ever located. Police Couldn't Find the AirTag. The Golf Course Didn't Help Either In her video, Phillips included footage of two officers helping her search around her car and trunk for the device, but to no avail. The next day, she said in an update video that she took the car to a body shop—but was told there were too many 'nooks and crannies' and 'exposed metal' areas for a thorough scan. She also criticized the golf course where it all happened, saying the staff showed little interest and weren't even familiar with what an AirTag was. 'They could not have been less helpful or less interested,' Phillips said. For now, she's keeping her car away from her home, citing safety concerns. 'As for now, my car is not at my house,' she said in her most recent update on July 7. She promised to keep followers posted, but hasn't shared any new details since. What Do I Do if This Happens to Me? If you find an AirTag on or inside your car and you didn't place it there, don't ignore it . Apple and safety experts recommend disabling the device immediately and contacting law enforcement, especially if you feel unsafe or suspect someone is tracking you without your consent. The AirTag might beep if it's been separated from its owner for a while, but you can also use your iPhone or any NFC-enabled phone to scan it. Hold your phone near the white side of the tag, and a notification should pop up with instructions on how to disable it. Search your vehicle carefully—under seats, in compartments, around the trunk, and anywhere else the device might be hidden. If you find the AirTag, press down on the back and twist it counter-clockwise to remove the battery and stop it from transmitting. If your phone detected the tag, follow any on-screen instructions to disable it. Law enforcement may ask for the AirTag, its serial number, or any owner information you were shown, so take screenshots before handing it over. Do not return the device to whoever placed it there, and do not try to confront them, as that could put you at risk. If you use an iPhone, make sure Item Safety Alerts are turned on. This feature will notify you if an unknown AirTag is moving with you over time. And if you're ever in doubt, it's best to be cautious and involve the authorities. How Do I Know If I'm Being Tracked? If you're an iPhone user, your phone will automatically alert you if it detects an unknown AirTag moving with you—either because it's been separated from its owner or because someone might be using it to track you. If that happens, open the Find My app and follow the steps to locate the device. Some newer iPhones even offer precision finding, which can help you pinpoint exactly where the tag is hidden. If you have an Android phone, it's a bit less automatic. One option is to download the 'Tracker Detect' app from the Google Play Store and use it to scan for nearby AirTags. Viewers Offer Advice Phillips isn't the only one who says her car has been tagged with an AirTag. In the comments section of her video, others shared their own unsettling experiences. 'This happened to me, and the cops in my town told me [that] unless I find it or a crime is committed, they can't do anything,' one user wrote. 'Glad your town is better.' 'Take it to the mechanic! I had this happen to me, and they didn't even charge me,' another said. 'Deputy here. A girl came in with this exact concern about two years ago,' a third commenter added. 'We found out it was in her spare tire. We put it on my squad car.' Some also offered advice for what to do if you find yourself in a similar situation. 'Turn your location on your iPhone in your car,' one said. 'When the notification comes up, your phone will allow you to have the AirTag make a noise and also give you the last four digits of the phone number for the account.' Others suggested checking places like the gas cap or exhaust pipe. 'This happened to me, and they duct taped it to my exhaust pipe,' one commenter shared. Then there were those simply shocked. 'That's so scary,' one user wrote. 'The act of placing an AirTag on someone's property should be charged with aggravated stalking with intent to harm,' another said. 'There is no excuse someone needs to keep tabs on you like this.' Motor1 has reached out to Phillips via a direct message on TikTok. We'll update this article if we hear back.

I got matching tattoos with Harry Styles after meeting him in a hotel at 17 – now I'm the envy of every One Directioner
A YOUNG woman has revealed that when she was just 17, she 'snuck out' and got a matching tattoo with Harry Styles. Savannah Phillips, a young woman from the United States, has gone viral online after opening up about the tattoo story and is now the envy of every One Direction fan. Posting on social media, the blonde beauty shared a snap of her and Harry Styles, 31, from back in 2012, and claimed that Harry had sketched a heart for her, which she got tattooed on her ankle. After being bombarded with hundreds of questions from desperate One Direction fans who were eager to know more on the backstory, soon after Savannah uploaded a follow-up clip, whereby she explained how her friendship with Harry started. Savannah claimed that she first met Harry, who was recently spotted snogging a mystery woman at Glastonbury, and the rest of the One Direction band in Los Angeles, whilst out for her aunt's birthday at the W Hotel. Whilst eating lunch, Savannah and her family soon noticed that One Direction were sitting next to them and they eventually got talking. After finding out that it was one of One Direction's first times in LA, Savannah recommended they go to In-N-Out Burger - and before long, they were all there together. Not only this, but the lads then invited Savannah and her family to one of their concerts. Savannah and Harry in particular stayed connected through texting and just a few weeks later, when Savannah was only 17 at the time, she found herself in her car with Harry. They went to her house where they tucked into shrimp tacos and Harry shared his desire to get a tattoo that evening, as she explained: 'Harry kept mentioning throughout the night, 'I wanna get a tattoo'.' Savannah claimed that she had always wanted a tattoo, but her mother wouldn't allow it. Despite this, the pair soon found themselves in a tattoo parlour, as Savannah confessed: 'He goes and grabs a big piece of paper and a pen and he's just drawing something for like five, 10 minutes, and then he walks up to me with a piece of paper and is like 'get this'.' Harry Styles fans shocked as 1D star snaps pic of them on holiday in Rome - and DMs it to them months later Savannah confirmed that Harry had called her mum from the shop to get her approval and just minutes later, she had his sketched heart inked onto her ankle. Savannah beamed: 'I got it done and it didn't hurt, because I think my adrenaline was pumping so hard.' It was a very strange, surreal and sweet chapter of my life that I am very grateful for Savannah Phillips Savannah later confirmed that Harry also got inked whilst with her that same night. Reflecting on her friendship with Harry, Savannah acknowledged: 'People ask if we're still in touch and, no, I haven't been in touch with Harry for a very long time, but I know if I run into him on the street, he would give me a hug, it'd be like no time had passed. 'I still do keep in contact with some of the crew and the band members - we all have very different lives now, it was a very strange, surreal and sweet chapter of my life that I am very grateful for.' Which tattoos hurt the most? Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels. Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone. Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain. Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings. Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface. Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful. Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful. Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones. Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes. Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface. Source: Tatt2Away Harry Styles' fans gasp The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ thatsavchick, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly gone viral and racked up 1.6 million views, 250,800 likes and 1,797 shares. Fans of Harry Styles were gobsmacked by Savannah's story and many raced to the comments to express their jealousy. One person asked: 'How does it feel to live every One Directioner's dream?' Another added: 'You're everything I ever wanted to be….' A third commented: "I'm not a jealous person but that changes today.' Someone else revealed: 'Teenage me would have been jealous of you.' Whilst one avid Harry Styles fan wrote: 'I will peel your skin off and wear it myself.'
