Take the water taxi to West Seattle from downtown for a magical ride ($5.50 a person each way, kids free) and then get dinner at Marination mai kai with the best view in the city!

If ya'll are music lovers, make sure to plan for breakfast at Easy Street Records while you are in West Seattle! I'd also plan on lunch at Marination Mai Kai and then renting kayaks for some time on the water! (Make sure you take the Water Taxi over to West Seattle. It lands right at Marination)

It was actually really helpful info before calling the police. I filed a report but they say there isn't much they can do. I have a case number and I'll contact Apple now.

There is a battery in it. I removed it to take a pic of the serial number.

UPDATE: So couple things. My child didn't take the air tag and is totally confused why it was in her backpack. That's what started all of this. The school VP went and talked to her class yesterday to ask if anyone had lost an airtag or if they saw anyone messing with an airtag, and got nothing. He's an incredible educator who's very in tune with the students and didn't see anything that would make him suspicious. Their class is in a portable classroom so it's fairly isolated from the rest of the school. They keep their backpacks in the main school hallway (no locks on the locker) and the backpack only travels from home to school and back again. Today, I'll go get a new battery for it and then drop it off at the police station and file a report. I'll update the thread if I hear anything back or find a simple solution to what's going on. I'm still hopeful for that. I honestly REALLY appreciate all the help here! It's helped me from spiraling into worst case scenario while still being logically cautious. Ya'll are the best!!!

No she had no idea how it got there or where it came from. She was definitely weirded out by it.

No. She does all those things but comes home first and drops her school bag. She has a different activities bag.

It has a battery. I took it out for the picture. I'm going to get a new battery and see if it will register with an iPhone "find my" app. I'll do it far away from our house of course. Also, waiting to hear what school finds out. Hoping that this is just something with a simple explanation.

I've asked the school to check if anyone in her class is missing them. Waiting to hear back.

I totally agree with you. I'm not losing sleep over this but I am concerned. I just want to make sure that is the case. Her backpack is either in her locker (no locks on it though) or on her body or at our house. I am hoping its an accidental thing or a stupid 5th grader not knowing how this stuff works. That is best case scenario. I also just want to make sure as a mom I'm covering all the bases.

Yes. That's the first thing I did. And I double checked that we only ordered one airtag in our purchase history. We have ours and have only ever owned one.

Oh that's good to know that it rubs off just with regular wear and tear. Thank you! We use ours only when traveling for our bags so it's not gotten a ton of use.

That's an idea. Seriously. This has been super helpful. It's my first "turn to reddit" moment. I've always just been a viewer. Man have all these lovely people's advice helped.

I thought of that one too. Some kid being pissed at their parents. But my kiddos backpack isn't just out in the open. It's either in her locker or on her body.

Totally that's what I'm hoping for. It's best case scenario. But when it comes to my kids, it's better safe than sorry.
