March 10, 2025 at 6:35 pmI put my hard earned money to finally spend on a pair of Airpods. And the same day of their arrival β they got stolen. I have a feeling my maid took them because no one else was at home during those hours. She saw the delivery happen. She’s never done anything like this before for many years. But I don’t have proof and I know it couldn’t be someone else.The box and the serial number are still with me along with the original purchase invoice. They are just about 3 kms from where I live. But the location is so shady that even food app delivery riders do not go and deliver easily.
What should I do? I’m thinking of reporting to the local cops and firing an FIR for the supposed theft. But is my word enough? I’m really stressed. What’s the best course of action for me for me to try and secure them back? Please help!
P.S: The Airpods are very much showing in Find My Device on my iPhone so I know where they are. Just hard to say if I will find them at the same spot or whether or not it is even accurate.

March 10, 2025 at 7:15 pmOn the find my app. If you lose something, you can mark it as lost and itβll constantly ping its location. Plus itβll be more difficult for someone else to reconfigure it.-

March 10, 2025 at 6:55 pmAirPods find my location is super accurate FYI. Once you get close to them, your phone can show you detailed directions towards the device, like 20 meter forward, 5 meters left etc. Itβs worth a try to go to the location and politely request access inside the house/building.-

March 10, 2025 at 7:10 pmFiring is fine. So you’re saying I should mostly threaten her a little and then actually file FIR? With the hope that she’ll give them back, right? I can tell her exactly where they are and then see how she reacts.-

March 10, 2025 at 7:55 pmIs she living in that area where your airpods are located?-
UUser_c31d150c
OP
March 10, 2025 at 8:00 pmNo. She’s in a different place. But I know she probably passed it on to someone else for some money or something. It’s an assumption at best for now but yeah different place.-

March 10, 2025 at 8:14 pmIf you are taking the police route, and if you think she is the one who did it, do not inform her that you can trace the exact location because she can snitch and it will move places.-
UUser_c31d150c
OP
March 10, 2025 at 8:19 pmYeah. Not doing that. Just planning to attack the place tomorrow directly with the cops. -

March 10, 2025 at 7:32 pmBefore involving the cops, try to find the airpods. take a friend or a cop with you but in disguise. I have seen many posts of people who found their airpods using the “Find my location” feature.-

March 12, 2025 at 8:23 amDid you get it back?-
UUser_c31d150c
OP
March 12, 2025 at 8:25 amNo I didn’t. I edited my original post with an update that it was too loud and in the last 10 meters it just couldn’t tell where to go. There were a 100 buildings there. It was impossible to hear anything. We had to shout over each other to get through. I’ve considered them gone.
