I don't know about you, but I took the police advice for granted and have already planted an AirTag in my car. Apple launched the tracker with simpler goals in mind, as the AirTag was originally supposed to help us keep an eye on car keys, wallets, and other small things we often lose.
Thanks to how it works, the AirTag is now amazingly effective in doing police work. Planted in the right spot, the AirTag can provide valuable location information if your car gets stolen. It connects to nearby iPhones to share its location and can remain vigilant for up to six months per battery.

Apple currently sells the AirTag for $29, but if you're in the mood to get something more special, the folks at Caviar have got you covered.

Caviar just launched a special collection for Valentine's Day, and unsurprisingly, the focus is on the iPhone. Called Garden of Eden, the new series includes luxurious iPhones, with the most expensive version carrying a $60,350 price tag. The price could sound ridiculous for some, but the fantastic news is that you also get a heart-shaped custom AirTag. Yep, you've heard it right, if you spend over $60K on an iPhone, you also get a heart-shaped AirTag to show the thief you love them before sending them to prison.

The iPhone collection includes five custom iPhone 15 Pro models with diamonds, gemstones, and Swarovski crystals.

The flagship model is called Panther Gold 18K and flexes an 18K gold chassis, gold plating, and no more, no less than 159 black diamonds. The good news is that Caviar has also created a more affordable version that wears Swarovski crystals instead of the super-expensive black diamonds.

The most affordable iPhone 15 Pro by Caviar, which I'm certain nobody will buy because, meh, who wants the cheapest expensive iPhone, right?, is the Wonderful Orchid. The device costs $9,630, about nine times the price of a regular iPhone 15.

If you're really interested in getting one of these custom iPhones, you'll have to hurry up. Caviar will produce them in limited numbers, and the top-of-the-range Panther Gold 18K lineup will comprise only 14 units. The other models will be limited to 99 units each.

The heart-shaped AirTag will be sold with each iPhone and offered separately if you want to secure your super-expensive purse. Caviar didn't reveal how much the AirTag will cost when purchased separately, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a thief being particularly interested in the device itself and not in the Kia that it's supposed to protect.

As a side note, AirTags can't be shut down, but a tech-savvy thief could disable it by removing the battery (once it finds it in the car).
