A mother drove across Singapore for an hour tracking her son’s lost wallet with an Apple AirTag, only to give up after repeatedly missing its reported location.<\/p>\n
In a TikTok video posted on Thursday (Oct 15), user 44catt said her son had left his wallet on a bus during a school excursion.<\/p>\n
She followed the AirTag’s updates from Canberra to Yishun, Admiralty and Woodlands, but its location kept changing whenever she got close.<\/p>\n
“Every time we are near, it moved again,” she said, later lamenting that “AirTag is really not that great”.<\/p>\n
After an hour of searching, she said she had been driving around “like an idiot” before calling it quits: “I give up already. I’m going to go home. Mission failed.”<\/p>\n
Catt, 32, a tattoo artist, told MS News that she searched for the wallet on Oct 14 between 8pm and 9pm.<\/p>\n
However, Catt later shared in a separate TikTok update on Saturday that she had managed to track down the bus, and her son found the wallet under one of its seats.<\/p>\n
Some TikTok users praised the mother’s persistence, with one commenting: “Wow you really got great determination, worth a praise.”<\/p>\n
Others offered tips and explained that AirTags rely on nearby Apple devices with Bluetooth enabled to relay their location, meaning updates may be limited when fewer such devices are around.<\/p>\n
Another user suggested putting a contact number inside the wallet in case it gets lost.<\/p>\n
AsiaOne has reached out to Catt for more information.<\/p>\n
