i found a right airpod and it’s saying the owner can see/track the location. There’s no way for me to return it to them so how do I go about stopping the location from being seen. These are airpod pros.

Unpair These:

If tracked in any manor, they would be seen with the last device they were paired with that was connected to the internet. This is because they are not assigned their own IP Address. So, unpair them. See here: Unpair, Restart, or Reset your AirPods - Apple Support

This is not an Option:

You, yourself, can't stop this tracking from occurring. The person needs to disassociate them from their own account. Frankly, if these were with me, I'd just trash them, being a privacy concern. But that's just me. So, maybe do away with them somehow. That's the wisest solution, IMO.
