So, being the technologically limited baboon I am, is there a similar item to an Apple Air Tag that I can use without having to buy an Apple device. I don't care to relearn the basic functions I know for my android... nor do I wish to have a iPhone just for the off chance someone steals my whole safe.

So, after looking into these things, am I missing something or how do I track something that only has a 200 foot range? Is it 200 feet from my phone, or just any phone, wifi, bluetooth, etc. Or is the android product seriously just inferior?

Samsung will be rolling out their next generation Smart Tag soon, if they haven't already. Just like with Apple devices though, you will need the higher end models for full functionality like Ultra-wideband.

Depends on what your priorities are. Android and Apple each have their strengths and weaknesses.

Well.

Isn’t this interesting.

Liberty Safe Scandal: Parent Company Exposed as Major Donor to Gun-Control Democrats - Report

Liberty Safe, which describes itself as “America’s #1 heavy-duty home and gun safe manufacturer,” has come under fire after a report revealed that its parent company has donated almost half a million dollars to pro-gun control Democratic officials.

On Wednesday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk shared FEC filings on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that show Liberty Safe’s parent company, Monomoy Capital Partners, has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats.

“I pulled the FEC reports on the company and found approximately $400,000 over the last 10 cycles of max donations to Democrats,” Kirk wrote.

“Liberty Safe’s current CEO, Justin Hillenbrand, was a founding partner of Monomoy and donated $4,600 to Obama for America,” Kirk added.

In a news release Monomoy Capital issued announcing its acquisition of Liberty Safe in 2021, it called the move “another great example of Monomoy partnering with a branded, market leading, consumer products manufacturer that has garnered an enthusiast customer base throughout the company’s history.”

Among the many donations listed, the most notable were to Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Mark Kelly of Arizona, and former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes of Wisconsin – all of whom have expressed support for gun control.

Barnes lost a bid to unseat Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson in November.

Kirk’s report comes as Liberty Safe is already facing fierce backlash for giving the FBI the passcode to a customer’s safe.

Nathan Earl Hughes of Fayetteville, Arkansas, was arrested on Aug. 30 for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion, according to The New York Times.

The FBI executed a search of Hughes’ home that day and, in doing so, sent a request to Liberty Safe asking for access to Hughes’ gun safe.

Hughes’ lawyer, William Shipley, said Liberty Safe voluntarily gave the FBI the passcode to get into the safe, despite the fact that there was no court order requiring the company to do so, the Times reported.

Hughes’ case has been highlighted by the conservative duo known as the “Hodgetwins,” who described Hughes as an “outspoken American Patriot” and a “friend of ours.”

The Hodgetwins shared a video of Hughes’ arrest and of a convoy of FBI vehicles pulling into his driveway. Since the FBI reportedly disabled his home security system, there was no footage of agents executing the search.

Meanwhile, Liberty Safe has attempted to recover from the backlash by announcing that customers can now remove their safe’s passcodes from Liberty Safe’s database of combinations.

“Effective immediately, customers can visit www.libertysafe.com/pages/combination-removal and fill out the form to have records of their access codes expunged,” Liberty Safe said in a statement shared on X.

“Our mission is to protect what matters most to our customers, whether that be valuables or privacy,” the statement said. “It is our pledge to continue to make excellent products that serve gun owners everywhere.”

They might want to slow down making excellent products just a bit as very few people will be buying them going forward.

Company alienates the demographic that is probably their main revenue stream.

That's special.

I'm honestly surprised they even asked Liberty. Historically, we'll ask the owner for the combination and if they don't provide it, the safe gets cut open.

Because they asked once before, and Liberty said send us a copy of the warrant and we'll do it.

Liberty says they give out 4000+ codes to open safes a year, so you have death of the owner/estate, forgotten passwords, and law enforcement.

They felt protected by saying ok to a warrant and had a procedure in place, clearly reviewed by in house legal council or management who never thought it would be an issue.

Social media changed that, same as with AB and that lunatic marketing person who decided to tell the world of her transgender love...

In AB's case it was an employee who ratted them out unknowingly, in this case, they ran up on a group of people who knew how to hit back, or is is clap back..
