[FOUND] While the rest of the country is sweltering it's cool in the mornings here. I donned a shirt with a pocket for just that amount of time from job 1 to job #2. They fell out of the pocket when I picked up the shirt this morning.

The only thing I can tell you is that I'm satisfied that for all the time I looked I didn't overlook them. They weren't anywhere near the garage, shed and thankfully, not in the trash. I'm relieved and amused.

Air tags are a bit large but doable. I'm looking at passive trackers where you need to hunt the object to within several feet and go from there. I like the wallet cards for things like a purse or wallet. Some come with a charging pad for under $20. Anyone know if these are good enough or basically junk? The Apple related ones are a bit more money and I assume reliable. Ridge brand pops up @ 3 for $100.

Another small tracker is an RFID but the longer range scanners price them out of possibility. The cool thing is how small the tracked device is. I mean you could literally attach one to a pigeon like an ankle bracelet. But if you wanted to track the bird very far you'd be spending quite a bit.

I realize an Apple Air Tag could be put on a bike and you can find it anywhere as long as someone with an iPhone happens by. Seems unnecessary for strictly home based items and adds that bulky tag.

I see an opportunity here for a compact (size of a dime) passive device.
