I have a question though ... you mention only the tag owner would know .... that sounds like it can be only tied to one phone, correct? IOW if my wife had an iPhone (she does not) it sounds like only she OR I could be informed but not both.
Currently AirTags can only belong to a single account, so yeah, only you'd be able to track it. It's tied to your account, not your phone though, you can use the FindMy app on any Mac PC or any other device via iCloud. I think Apple has future plans to allow sharing of AirTags, but they're also kind of in a holding pattern on AirTag development, since it's actually pretty easy to stalk someone by planting an AirTag on them (but that's another story).

I hear you there... I had a friend who had his CBR600RR stolen and it had one of those expensive GPS trackers. He tracked it - right across the boarder to Mexico...
For only $30 and no subscriptions tho, it's a nice bit of peace-of-mind, being able to see in real time where all of my vehicles are. If I'm away on a trip, and I park at the Airport or something, it's nice to know the bike is safe and hasn't moved.
