You can't. You only get an alert after one's been following you around.

iPhone will send an alert to you if unknown AirTag is following you around.

then I don't see how this is a problem having someone else's airtag on the car. the owner of the car is the only person being "followed" by it.

The owner of the tag knows, in real time, where the tag is and only iPhones receive the tracking notifications.

Because the owner of the car would need to have an iPhone?
