What?!


Tracking Down a Sender:

Just hand in is ID to local authorizes; don’t take it for yourself.


If you could track him down by the serial number, he’d have to be in the same spot they were last seen in Find My. And Find My would have to be enabled with these. Keep off his account, if forbidden.


If you have an email, look at the headers and track it to its sent location by IP address. That’s the closest you’d locate a email sender.


Elsewise, it’s a manhunt —so, let it be.

Training with AirPods and Find My:

If Find My was enabled with these, then it might be seen, mandated someone has access to your account. Note that the local shown is based off of the last time the device they were connected to that itself was connected to the internet. This is because AirPods are not assigned their own IP Address. So, pair these with a device to have them be seen. Go here: Connect your AirPods and AirPods Pro to your iPhone - Apple Support
