If you find an unknown AirTag (iPadOS 14.5 or later) or third-party item (iPadOS 14.3 or later), you can use the Find My app

You can only view more details about an item and receive safety alerts if the item is registered to someone’s Apple ID. Learn about registering an AirTag or third-party item.
Important: If you feel your safety is at risk due to the unknown item, report it to your local law enforcement.
