Husband has put an apple airtag in my car!

Don't know if I Abu or not but my husband has gone abroad for 3 weeks for his brothers wedding and left me at home with the kids, our youngest is only 13 weeks old.
He's been gone since Sunday evening and today as I had just arrived back from doing the school run dropping off my older 2 children I had an tracker alert on my phone that says an airtag tracker has been detected and it showed me every where I had been that morning on the map. I was very confused at first as I didn't know what it was as i didnt know what an apple airtag was up until a few days ago, when my husband bought some to put in his suitcases before travelling, I know it 100% in my car, one because it showed everywhere I'd been that morning, and when I pressed " play sound" I could hear it beeping inside the back of my car! He's obviously hidden in it the day before he travelled when he went to fill my car up with petrol before he left.
I'm just so upset and don't know why. Surely if it was for safety with him being away from home he would have told me before putting it in there?
He doesn't know I know, I'm pretty sure he also doesn't know that my phone would detect it and give me an alert. I haven't said anything to him yet, I don't know what to say.
Aibu to think he is spying on me and tracking me or could it really be he's thinking about safety? But then I just think he would have said something. I'm really upset about it all knowing he's hid a tracker in the back of my car.

I would have divorced him for what you've described in your posts, without hesitation.

I'd just leave it and see if he mentions it. Then I'd leave him, sounds like a knob!!! Buggers off for 3 weeks and leaves you with a tiny baby . Utter knob. Or put it in his car and see whence that leads you. Good luck.x

I would like to add having had the same issue....... when i looked into the airtag they only have a range of 30 metres. Do as i did and have a good laugh at his stupidity. And hope that he didnt do what my OH did and realises his stupidity and has a wired GPS tracker put in your car.

It’s really not a laughing matter. It’s abuse and the best way to deal with is to leave as soon as possible - do you have plans to leave ?

They don’t have a range of 30 meters. You can track your own AirTag on the other side of the world - I have done it many times ( I’m tracking my own belongings like a suitcase).

30 metres from the nearest Apple device, anywhere in the world.
