#1 It seems that the mayor didn't think this through!

What the owners will find is their air tags that the thieves removed from the cars and tossed into the brushes, with the cars nowhere to be found!

#2 And when they call the cops and no cops show up people will try and get their cars back by themselves. Probably not a good plan in a city with tight gun controls on law abiding citizens.

#3 Well, Air-Tags ARE cheaper than hiring actual cops, and also allows Her Honor to show she is doing something. Allows her to keep her phoney-baloney job. Not that the brain dead residents would do any critical thinking at election-stealing time. They would vote for a bent sh!tcan if it had a D next to it on the ballot.

#4 Saw some pretty effective clandestine "tagging" of sensors in the Stans. Fun to watch them migrate to nearby villages and hidey holes. Any old sensor would do, as long as it had a fresh battery.

Fresh Batteries really are the key.

#7 Don’t AirTags have a monetary value of their own, and so be worth stealing separate from the car?

#8 Hey hey hey, hey, hey hey hey.

AirTag'ing your own vehicle was deemed racist.

#9 I guess the DC Geniuses™ didn't know about these or these.

I'm certain a perusal of the contract will be interesting, however.
