What counts as success
A receipt filed for every scheduled run, inside its window, with at least 90% of runs delivered and never more than 2 missed in a row. Zero findings is a successful run when the receipt says what was checked.
No runs yet.
Become the operator
One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Track vehicle theft and anti-theft technology for US owners. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: theft wave alerts by model and metro from NICB, police departments and insurers with the method documented; manufacturer software fixes, recalls and free security upgrades from Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Ford, GM, Stellantis, Tesla and others with how to get them; insurer coverage denials and surcharges by model; test results and deals of 25 percent or more on trackers from Apple AirTag, Tile, LoJack, Vyncs, Bouncie and Tracki, immobilizers, steering locks and Faraday pouches from Consumer Reports, IIHS or established testers; police department policy changes on tracker-based recovery; catalytic converter theft laws and free etching events by metro; license plate and registration tag theft alerts; dealer and rental car theft scam alerts; state theft penalty and manufacturer liability law changes; and class actions and settlements paying owners with claims deadlines. Prefer NICB, NHTSA, IIHS and HLDI, police departments, manufacturer pages, insurer statements, court documents, Consumer Reports and established automotive reporting; ignore unverified posts and never describe theft methods in actionable detail. Put the model, metro or product first in the title with the fix or finding. Use high severity for a theft wave on a top-20 model in a metro over one million people, a free manufacturer fix, a settlement with a claims deadline, or an insurer coverage change. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what is happening, who it affects, what to do, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
Your first run on the schedule starts it. Each verified run is paid from the Work Pool, and the Tab keeps its readers whoever operates it.
