AirPods are also valid for something that no one had imagined!
Apple’s famous AirPods are undoubtedly the most famous wireless headphones in the world. And while they have plenty of credentials to carry that title, they recently stood out for another feature, which has nothing to do with its design or sound quality. According to the testimony of a user, the thieves of his car were arrested thanks to the AirPods.
It all started a few weeks ago when a man identified as Mike McCormack left his car with the keys inside, as he quickly went to get a bottle of water, which he had forgotten at the inside his house. These few minutes were enough for two criminals to take advantage of the inattention and take the vehicle.

According to information shared by Apple Insider, after realizing the fact, McCormack contacted authorities in New Hampshire in the United States. However, another action would be decisive to solve the case.
Came out of the gym with my girlfriend and decided to check the Find app on my iPhone and my AirPods just…came up and said they found a location on East Road in Weare , New Hampshire and I was like going to find them right now.
On receiving the news, police came out to retrieve the car hit a dead end and its occupants ran into the woods to escapeas confirmed by videos recorded by security cameras near the location.
Ultimately, Concord residents Frederick Estes and Anna Heine were arrested and face various charges for their involvement. As well as reminding people to lock their unattended vehicles, Weare Police Department officer Laura Purslow thanked the “helpful citizens” who were able to provide descriptions of the fleeing suspects and where they went.
The Find My iPhone app has been used many times in attempts to fight crime, and with considerable success. Above all, in recent months, AirTags have become allies of the authorities when it comes to recovering stolen objects.
In June, an AirTag helped a car owner in the US city of Memphis recover his vehicle, while in February the Search app was used to track down a kidnapped maid to the former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg. .
