Nonsense

Traffickers use online gaming, chatrooms like dischord, social media, clubs, drugs and form personal attachments to traffic girls, not zip ties lol

If it got to tbe point of using a zip tie they'd use an airtag, zip ties don't give gps tracking

I'd be more inclined to think the zip tie is targeting the car, not the girl.
No, I can see it being the girl. But the car will be a bonus in a chop shop. The thing is, if they think she is vulnerable then she is doing something that leads them to believe that she could be easily snatched. She needs some tutoring in situational awareness and needs to start using it.

Apple airtags cost $$$, while zip ties are probably a nickel a piece.

Airtags can be tracked to the owner. Also, there are apps for people who want to scan their vehicles or whatever, to check and see if an airtag is attached!

I think the uncle should use that info to target them.

A micro camera, a little coverage for the niece, and find out who's doing it.

eta: and then find out who they associate with... and so on.
A quiet place, some direct questions backed up by appropriate enticements like " yeah, it'll stop when I get the answers I want; otherwise . . . . ."

Meh..the $30 for an airtag is good ROI if I'm gonna "sell" someone as a sex slave.

While it is more difficult to open a icloud account compared to years ago..If i wanted to spend the time to do so via a sock puppet account I could do it...also if my business is trafficking...then I got a guy for that.

I could just have someone buy me a "burner" phone with cash..track the phone with the bluetooth turned off

As for apps...I'd bet 99+% of people don't have that app installed on either their android or iphone or use it everytime they enter their vehicle.

As for the whole zip tie story (I'm a cynic) I call BS.

And you can be SURE it’s not just teens. Met a LE guy who told me he took an entire circle around his car before entering. Not a bad idea for anyone.

I do it because the Rattlesnakes like to hide in the shade. Good practice for this situation, too.
