A family claim that someone at Walt Disney World tracked their movements by placing an Apple AirTag on them as they walked around the theme park.
They said they were left "terrified" by discovering the coin-sized device when they returned to their car after a day at the Florida resort.
Mum Jennifer Gaston said they found the AirTag after getting a notification saying that an owner had been tracking them.
The Gaston family was visiting the attraction after making the trip from Tennessee, US, and were left worrying for their safety.
Mrs Gaston told FOX 35 Orlando says they are angry after her daughter Madison saw the tracker follow them on a smart phone and were stunned to find out they were being monitoring for hours.
The called the police as they left Walt Disney World.
“We were terrified, we were confused, hurt and scared,” she said. “We literally watched it follow us from the tram all the way back to our vehicle.
“As she was refreshing it, it showed the AirTag was still in our parking spot so somehow when we were frantically shaking out clothes and dumping everything out of our bags it fell out.
“This story could have ended way differently and I’m praising God we have the outcome we have, but it’s because she was diligent and aware of what to do.”
Mirror Online have contacted Walt Disney World for comment.
Apple AirTags are usually used to keep track of personal belongings but have been hijacked by criminals in the past.
Apple defended the function earlier this years as safety concerns continue to grow.
They said: "AirTag was designed to help people locate their personal belongings, not to track people or another person’s property, and we condemn in the strongest possible terms any malicious use of our products.
"Unwanted tracking has long been a societal problem, and we took this concern seriously in the design of AirTag.
"It’s why the Find My network is built with privacy in mind, uses end-to-end encryption, and why we innovated with the first-ever proactive system to alert you of unwanted tracking. We hope this starts an industry trend for others to also provide these sorts of proactive warnings in their products.
"We’ve become aware that individuals can receive unwanted tracking alerts for benign reasons, such as when borrowing someone’s keys with an AirTag attached, or when traveling in a car with a family member’s AirPods left inside.
"We also have seen reports of bad actors attempting to misuse AirTag for malicious or criminal purposes.
"Apple has been working closely with various safety groups and law enforcement agencies. Through our own evaluations and these discussions, we have identified even more ways we can update AirTag safety warnings and help guard against further unwanted tracking."
