One of my AirTags along with my Rimowa luggage tag is RIP. On my last trip, my luggage tab (the one with the leather buckle) was completely missing. The buckle would not come undone by itself, so either a worker purposely removed it, or the tag got caught in a machine and ripped off. I could still track it somewhere in LAX, but decided to remove the tag from my account in case someone repurposed it for stalking or something. The replacement will be inside the luggage next time!
