Unknown device (airpods) is tracking my location

I do not own any AirPods. However, I see that a pair of unknown AirPods is tracking my location. I have attempted to remove access, however, the Find My app does not give me the option to remove this device.

Unknown device tracks me down I woke up today in the morning and found out a notification that states that unknown device (airpod) was noticed nearby. The problem is I don’t have AirPods and I see that location of this airpod is tracked and I’m worried that my own location may be tracked down as well.

Random AirPods Tracking My Location and I Can’t Do Anything About It I am very concerned that I got a notification that a random pair of AirPods have been found traveling with me all day and are tracking my location. I do not own AirPods and have never owned AirPods. When I try to disable them in the Find My App, the only instructions displayed require me to have the AirPods with me to disconnect them. The only other option listed is to call the police. I am extremely worried that Apple allows random devices to connect to my phone and track my location just because they are near me without sending me a notification asking permission to connect. I am a single female and now some person is out there tracking my every movement and I can’t do anything about it. Can someone please give me an avenue to prevent this device from tracking me? Is calling the police really the only option I have? What exactly are the police going to do?
