Hey, ich bleibe bis Freitag in Belgien und gestern Abend habe ich mein Portemonnaie verloren. Es ist eine gefälschte rote Vivienne Westwood. Ich habe den Standort von meinem AirTag erhalten. Hat jemand Tipps, wie man es zurückbekommt? Scheint, als wäre es im Fluss, 26 Minuten von Antwerpen entfernt, wo ich wohne. Wer mir helfen kann, bekommt mindestens 100€. Bitte, ich habe dort Fotos, meinen Ausweis und 300 €. Das erste Bild zeigt, wo es vor 10 Minuten war, und das zweite zeigt den Ort, an dem ich es verloren habe.

Any chance somebody found it and ditched the AirTag around Doel?
Seems its on a boat to some place cooler, like Africa
Given that it’s in the water, it probably has €0 in it and you should block all your cards…
Unless you were on the river yourself, if it’s in the river I’m pretty sure there will not be 300 bucks in there.
I also doubt anyone is going to go dive and perform a search of de Schelde for 100 euros.
This is in the middle of one of the busiest ports of Europe. Pitty for you but there’s 0% you’ll retrieve it.
Oke, let’s go. Ik duik ‘m op voor €300.
Very plausible someone saw the airtag and threw it in the river after taking your cash and probably your cards too
I don’t know what you expect anyone to do for 100 eur for a wallet [but most likely only the airtag] that is at the bottom of a harbour.
Block your docs and do an aangifte at the police bureau at Politieplein 1 Berchem, that shit is lost
That’s a loss if the location of your airtag actually is correct. The current location has rather heavy ship traffic and is deep + wide,… no way to get it back. It’s actually impressive the wallet ended up there, it’s almost 20km from your current location.
Similar thing happened to me once. They stole my backpack and clearly ditched the AirTag in a canal. You should probably file a police report and make sure your ID is listed as stolen, and block your credit and debit cards.
If you have insurance that will cover the cost of replacing the stolen goods, you may need the police report when you file the insurance claim.
Good luck
Sometimes around water, your gps doesn’t always know what side of tge water you are. It’s possible that your wallet isn’t in the water.
Maybe Jesus took it and he’s walking down the Schelde as we speak
Your Google maps indicates that you should be fully aware of the fact that the Schelde isn’t some cute river that people go diving in for random wallets. Likely, you dropped it or forgot it somewhere, it got nicked, the airtag got noticed and chucked into the river.
Unfortunate situation…
No one is diving into a busy, dirty waterway to retrieve an empty fake Vivienne Westwood wallet.
Contact police, block your cards, get a new one.
It’s gone. Call card stop.
somebody may have tossed it on a boat. Check in an hour if it has moved
Block your cards, inform authorities and do whatever you need to do to get new cards issued. That wallet is not recoverable and there’s no money in it. Besides, I reckon it’s just the airtag that was ripped off and even so it’s not recoverable.
Bro you lost it at t’steen…
All is out your wallet and tossed in the schelde , just love on 🤷🏻♂️.
Ps. Call cardstop for no wireless transactions.
Your wallet’s gone and everybody that tries getting to it will drown and die.
End of story.
I’m questioning the accuracy of the location. Isn’t it has to be close to an iPhone for the AirTag to send its location? Which iPhone get close enough to the AirTag in the middle of the river? The people on the ship?
Treasure the memories of your friend. Maybe related friends/family have photographs?
So a bit background of how an AirTag works. AirTags do not have a gps receiver. They rely on the presence of other Apple devices which have gps, like an iPhone, that picks up the Bluetooth low energy announcements and then distributes the position of itself over whatever internet connection it has.
It will certainly not be in the middle of the scheldt if you are still receiving it.
Did you take the Waterbus by any chance? That ferry goes from steen to doel, so it might be on that boat.
Not having any advice others didn’t already give, but I’m really sorry to hear you lost the picture. Sherish those memories and I hope you’ll manage to find a new one somewhere 🫤.
Doesnt an airtag respond to surrounding OS phones? How would it be tagged on that location, can’t imagine alot of phones arround it to ping it.
Looks like a faulty reading or something
Well not necessarily 🙂 i used to do commercial diving, have trained firefighters for rescue services in the harbour and have even crossed the schelde recreationally a couple of years ago when they had the pontoon. Not adviseable however and 0 fun and visibility.
However there is zero chance you will get it back in this case.
You would be surprised how well airtags work, and mobile signal penetrates water. I have forgotten my phone several times in my pockets in a drysuit and you get calls. During long decompression dives i use an ipad to watch movies in a waterproof bag 🙂
What probably happened is that the waterbus picks up a signal.
that seems too far for regular current, and the water would not allow the airtag to function.
So my guess is that it was taken and lost on the [waterbus](https://dewaterbus.be).
Did you take that boat? Otherwise someone might have taken it after finding/stealing your wallet.
They have an [office at Steenplein](https://maps.app.goo.gl/7Jex7EZSX5fhgFuV6?g_st=ic) where they have a lost-and-found, so you might check/ask there.
Whoever found it, took the watertaxi and dropped it of at some point. There needs to be a Bluetooth device nearby to locate the airbag. Goodbye wallet.
Try to see if there’s a vessel (google vesselfinder) moving with the wallet. That might be your only chance to get it back.
If you do find a match I might have some contacts at a specific shipping company
If you are really lucky, the thief was on the waterbus or the ferry and threw it in the water there, maybe police can check for video images but only if they have the exact moment of the theft on camera this will be possible… I am afraid this is a lost cause though 😞 Hopefully you have some digital photos or copies left of your belongings and for sure the memory in your heart can never be stolen! Sorry you have this happen to you and hope you can still enjoy the rest of your trip.
Joke?
