Apple Air Tag Saved Me!

AirTag in my wallet saved my butt last week!

Recently I left my wallet on the desk in the motel room. I got 2 blocks away and got the alert on my phone that I left it.

If I didn’t get that alert, I probably would have been 2-3 hours away and noticed that I didn’t have my wallet when I went to get gas!



Something people don’t think about is what would you do if you lost your wallet while performing for multiple days while on the road. I keep an credit card that’s not on me with my gear in case my wallet gets lost, in addition to keeping enough cash to fill my gas tank on hand. For longer distances, I try to keep enough cash on hand for gas to get me home. This is insurance for unplanned things like losing my wallet.

Shipping Your Gear

For the last few years I’ve kept Apple AirTags in my luggage when travelling. Now that I’m flying to more events with my Crank Organ, which is shipped ahead, I’ve added one of them it so that I have an extra layer of tracking.

Normally I ship it to a UPS Store, but recently for an event in Reno, I didn’t have that option. I sent it to the casino directly and in the past when shipping thing to hotels, it’s been less than a good experience. In the past I’ve gone to the desk to pick up a package and they can’t find it. After 10 minutes of me insisting that it was delivered, my package magically appears.

Now with the AirTag, I can help them find it by making it make noise, or showing them where it is in the app!

If you travel, put an AirTag in everything that you don’t hand carry!
