Found AirTag, hoping to locate the owner

Hello I know this isn’t a question but I found an AirTag that was in one of the backpacks that was returned to the company I work for. The company sells conceal carry/tactical clothing and gear. The AirTag has someone’s initials on it with two small hearts. I’ve tried using NFC to locate the owner but they haven’t reported it as missing. I was hoping to find the owner in here but I know the odds are slim to none. If the owner sees this, please tell me the initials on the airtag. I’d be happy to send it back to you.

Thank you for your post to the community,


Wondering whether Apple support's online video can be of any help?

Only the owner would provide their information if they choose to do so when reported as Lost. There is no reverse lookup to see who it belongs too. The owner is still able to see where the AirTag is to pick it up or contact you if they want to, or you can remove the battery so the location will not be updated, beyond its last known location.
