Didn't they start chirping and alert the thief?

The anti-stalking measures with AirTags, while we all recognize why they're in place, also greatly reduce their value as anti-theft devices. I've gouged the speakers out of a few and hidden them in my vehicles, but if Apple makes that impossible to do with the new generation... no sale.

That only happens after 24 hours and only if the tag has been continuously traveling with an iPhone present.
