- Man forgets his headphones on a plane
- An employee jumps at the chance and collects them
- But an AirTag was attached to it
A new story is added to the series of objects found with the help of an AirTag. And like last week, the events took place in an airport. As a reminder,a man lost his luggage and the airline lied to him about its location.
Today, the loss does not concern suitcases, but the headphones of Mat Krantz, an American from North Carolina. The man who is used to traveling by plane always makes sure to have his headphones within reach. Faced with the noisy environment of airports that he is often confronted with, Mat particularly appreciates the noise reduction offered by them.
After landing at Raleigh-Durham International Airport from a flight from Atlanta, Mat noticed that he no longer had his headphones on him. The man who took care of themequip an AirTagthen rushed to locate them only to finally realize that they were still on board the plane.
The airline refuses him access to the plane
After being able to locate his headphones, Mat immediately wanted to retrieve them from the plane, but he was refused access. So he returned home and continued totrack their location from your iPhone. At first, no worries for the American, the headphones were still on board, so he was able to sleep peacefully.
However, when he woke up, he realized that his property had been moved during the night to a residential address. He immediately thought it was a member of the cleaning crew who had taken it home. Mat decided to go pick them up himself at the address given. But his wife dissuaded him, recommending that he call the police.
The police get involved
The American therefore followed his wife's advice and called the police. Which turned out to be a wise decision.We remember the young woman who wanted to find her stolen car on her own, but who failed.
The police went to the scene and we were able to recover Mat's headphones. The latter also decided not to file a complaint, knowing that following this incident,the person guilty of the theft was fired by their employer.
Please note that this was not a question of AirPods, since these are basic compatible with the Find My network. This is actually one of their strengths.
Have you ever used the Find My feature on your AirPods to get your hands on them?
