I developed a device that turns an Airtag on and off at specific intervals (roughly 80% off 20% on). While the AirTag is off, it can’t be detected, and when it turns on again, you can locate it and with it your stolen item: https://undetectag.com I'm about to order the new version to check whether it works on it too

Given how tracking stolen items is technically identical to tracking a person, wouldn't this also be a device for undetectable stalking?

You may want to update the marketing copy until you've tested it: "The device is guaranteed to work with the current version of the AirTag."

Combining Pareto and Murphy might result in 4 hours head start for the thief though.
