Lol it actually is. U can download Bluetooth scanners for free on App Store and it shows you all the devices that ur Bluetooth can reach, obviously it’s not gonna trace their every movements but it shows you when there’s a Bluetooth device near you. So if your at home and think someone’s outside your house you can scan for Bluetooth and if their Bluetooth is turned on it will show up with a rough distance from where you’re scanning from.

I don’t think you’re one to weigh in on whether using something is legal or not. Judging by your post history you won’t give a crap either way. I’d hazard a guess that you know the people trying to steal your stuff.

BLE scanner apps are meant to be used for locating lost devices, not tracking cell phones.

ANYTHING RF is regulated. There is indeed a good chance what you want to do is illegal.

Just get: a dog and some cameras.

An apple approved app that tells me if someone is trespassing on my property to try and rob me is not illegal. The app just tells me if there are people in my property and that’s all. I don’t get any of their personal information from the app. So if they want to break the law and try to rob me, I will legally use technology to prevent being robbed.

All a camera is going to do is let me watch them rob me. Police won’t be able to identify them at night. And then I’ve been robbed with no leads to catch them and I won’t get my stuff back.
