This $30 AirTag Lock Prevents Luggage Theft - Travel + Leisure

On a recent trip to Paris, I watched a gentleman disembark my train car at Gare de Lyon with a black American Tourister suitcase and thought, “Huh, would you look at that — I have the same luggage.” Turns out, it was my luggage. 

What ensued was a poorly translated panic attack between me and the station police about my stolen bag. In the end, the luggage nab was just a mistake, and I was reunited with my bag the next morning, but the whole situation got me researching ways to keep my luggage safe from theft. My solution? First, place an Apple AirTag in my suitcase to track it. Second, secure said AirTag with a Raptic AirTag Lock.

Why? Because, it’s one thing to be able to locate lost luggage, keys, or wallet with your AirTag (Apple’s genius GPS tracking device that’s loved by flight attendants and editors alike), but if your AirTag isn’t secured to the item, there’s no stopping a thief from tossing the tracking device at first notice. 

The anti-theft Raptic Link & Lock for Apple AirTags solves that problem with its durable carabiner design and custom combination lock. Made of polycarbonate, a type of plastic engineered for high impact, the lock’s tough material, combined with its zinc casting, gives it a heavy-duty metal-like feel. At 4 inches long, the lock fits in the palm of your hand and has ample room to secure around a bike seat post, luggage handle, or bag pocket.

Make sure to test the lock before inserting your AirTag. You will first need a paper clip or SIM card ejector tool to set the combination to your desired code. Once set, write the code down somewhere handy, like on your Notes app, because you won’t be able to remove the lock without it. 

The Raptic AirTag lock isn’t just for attaching to luggage. Reviewers have used the lock to secure to their cars, bikes, strollers, and backpack loops. One reviewer used these locks to secure to the interior of their luggage and loved them so much that they bought several more for their car. “We put the AirTags into them and fastened them around the interior metal frames of our checked luggage, so they couldn’t be removed without disassembling the luggage. Our luggage was lost upon our arrival in Israel. Because the luggage contained AirTags, we knew where our luggage was located.” They continued to say, “We then bought two more to secure the AirTags to a not obvious metal piece in the trunks of our cars.”

With 4.3-star rating, the Raptic Link & Lock for Apple AirTags is well-received by its customers. Some negative reviews express frustration with the combination-setting directions, and others say the AirTag’s beacon sound is muffled. But, overall shoppers love the durable, heavy-duty construction and design. The lock is available in one color, gray. The inconspicuous color is handy for keeping it discreet.
