A mother drove across Singapore for an hour tracking her son's lost wallet with an Apple AirTag, only to give up after repeatedly missing its reported location.
In a TikTok video posted on Thursday (Oct 15), user 44catt said her son had left his wallet on a bus during a school excursion.
She followed the AirTag's updates from Canberra to Yishun, Admiralty and Woodlands, but its location kept changing whenever she got close.
"Every time we are near, it moved again," she said, later lamenting that "AirTag is really not that great".
After an hour of searching, she said she had been driving around "like an idiot" before calling it quits: "I give up already. I'm going to go home. Mission failed."
Catt, 32, a tattoo artist, told MS News that she searched for the wallet on Oct 14 between 8pm and 9pm.
However, Catt later shared in a separate TikTok update on Saturday that she had managed to track down the bus, and her son found the wallet under one of its seats.
TikTok users praise mum's determination, offer AirTag tips
Some TikTok users praised the mother's persistence, with one commenting: "Wow you really got great determination, worth a praise."
Others offered tips and explained that AirTags rely on nearby Apple devices with Bluetooth enabled to relay their location, meaning updates may be limited when fewer such devices are around.
Another user suggested putting a contact number inside the wallet in case it gets lost.
AsiaOne has reached out to Catt for more information.

一位母亲驾车穿越新加坡一个小时，使用苹果 AirTag 追踪儿子丢失的钱包，但由于多次错过钱包报告的位置，最终放弃了追踪。
在周四（10 月 15 日）发布的一段 TikTok 视频中，用户 44catt 说她的儿子在学校郊游时把钱包落在了公交车上。
她跟随 AirTag 的更新信息，从堪培拉到义顺、海军部和兀兰，但每当她靠近时，它的位置都会发生变化。
“每次我们靠近它，它又会移动，”她说道，后来又感叹道，“AirTag 真的没那么好用。”
搜寻了一个小时后，她说自己像个傻瓜一样到处乱转，最后决定放弃：“我放弃了。我要回家了。任务失败了。”
32岁的纹身师卡特告诉MS News，她在10月14日晚上8点到9点之间寻找过这个钱包。
不过，卡特后来在周六发布的另一条 TikTok 更新中透露，她已经找到了那辆公交车，她的儿子在其中一个座位下找到了钱包。
TikTok 用户称赞这位妈妈的决心，并提供 AirTag 使用技巧
一些TikTok用户称赞了这位母亲的坚持不懈，其中一位评论道：“哇，你真的很有毅力，值得称赞。”
其他人也提供了建议，并解释说 AirTags 依靠附近启用了蓝牙功能的 Apple 设备来传输其位置信息，这意味着当周围此类设备较少时，更新可能会受到限制。
另一位用户建议在钱包里放一个联系电话，以防钱包丢失。
AsiaOne已联系Catt以获取更多信息。
