AirPods are also valid for something that nobody had imagined!
Apple’s famous AirPods are undoubtedly the most famous wireless headphones in the world. And although they have many credentials to carry this title, recently they have stood out for another functionality, which has nothing to do with its design or sound quality. According to one user’s testimonial, 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, while he went quickly for a bottle of water, which he had forgotten inside his house. Those few minutes were enough for two criminals to take advantage of the carelessness and take the vehicle.

The Find My app on the iPhone has been used repeatedly in attempts to combat crime, and with considerable success. Especially, 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 for former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg. .
