![]() One guy wanted to go confront her, but I motioned to him to just sit down. From around 30 feet away, the woman's bag rang. I asked her to double-check, and she sort of did, but then she got up and started walking away.Still playing the confused tourist, I said to others nearby "I wonder if they're under these chairs?" and sounded them. She pointed at hers (of a different model, in a case) and said they were the only ones she had. ![]() I asked her whether she had happened to find a pair of AirPods. The near-field finding feature traced them to the bag of a passenger waiting for the flight. I started following its guidance, and it led me across the terminal to a Spirit gate. Three days later, business trip over, I was waiting in the departure lounge at DFW with about an hour to kill before my flight home when Find My suddenly alerted and said my AirPods were nearby. I put them in "Lost Mode" (which keeps anyone from re-pairing them and just plays a message if someone puts them in ears) and didn't think much of it. Not having a rental car for that trip, and also not especially wanting to confront unkown persons over a $200 set of noise-canceling headphones, I figured they were gone. I improbably got them back.By the time I got to the hotel and realized they were not in the pocket of my bag where they were supposed to be, and that I had left them in the airplane seat pocket instead, Find My told me they were at a random house in Arlington.
