Stolen AirPods

Someone took my grand daughter AirPods from the high school on the find me it gave us an address and I went there and they acted really suspicious and said there were no one there with AirPods I asked to speak to her child she told me no, so I went to police and he went there and basically she told him the same thing we don’t have her AirPods so police told me they couldn’t do anything !!! So what do I need to and yes AirPods still showing at that address 4.5 miles from my house and 11 mile from school so why can’t police do anything I wanted to go inside and turn on chime to see if I hear it

For reference...

Troubleshooting Stollen AirPods:



Use Find My:

Was Find My enabled for these through a device? If so,....

Go Here: Keep track of personal items using Find My - Apple Support


II. If Find My is Not Working, here are Some Thoughts:

A. Backtrack your Locations:

Do it the olde fashioned way and backtrack your locations. For instance, if you were at a retail store, then stop in, asking the store manger if it was placed aside.


B. Lost-&-Found:

Chick with the Lost & Found department of the facility you were in, seeing if it has been handed over.


C. Contact Local Authorities:

See if the community police, or local security guards at the front door, can across it.


D. Use Craigslist:

Put a post on Craigslist, seeing if they have been found.
