Stolen AirPods
Say my AirPods were stolen and someone else connected them to their phone, would my phone still track them or would updates on their location stop?

The only information your're going to get from Find My iPhone is the last location at which they were in BT range of your phone. If they are picked up and moved, you won't have any way of knowing. If they are connected to someone else's phone, you won't know.
Wait for the class to be over, then go look.
No, your phone would no longer track them.
Thanks for responding, that being said since the find my iPhone app still gives me the option to play a sound on my AirPods, does this mean they’re still paired to my phone?
Do you have the option to track them?
I can only see that their last location was yesterday in my school
Then that's where you should look for them.
You see, that’s my last period and I can’t go barging in there while he’s teaching a class. Regardless, I was asking if the situation would mean that someone else connected them to their phone.
So if someone stole my AirPods then am I just screwed?
Yep, you pretty much feel that way when somebody steals anything from you.
