Man's Hunt For Lost AirPods Lands Him In Ghaziabad, Here's What Happened Next
A man lost his AirPods case in Noida a month ago. The missing AirPods led him to a tiny village in Ghaziabad district.
A man's desperate ordeal to retrieve his lost AirPods came to a bittersweet conclusion when he narrowed down his wireless earbuds' case in Ghaziabad. It began a month ago when Reddit user aditya8848 posted a plea on the r/Ghaziabad subreddit, reporting the loss of an expensive gadget in Noida. 'I lost my airpods case in Noida sec 141 on Saturday night. When i tracked it yesterday it appeared to be in a place called Teela in Ghaziabad. I really need to find it. Getting a replacement is too expensive for me. Please help, (sic) the user wrote while flagging his post as 'emergency".
A few days later after making his initial post, Aditya took to the social media platform once again, informing everyone that his AirPods were on the move from Noida and pinged last in the Ghaziabad area.
Maintaining that he needed help from the community, especially the locals, the user, sharing the map location of the music-listening device's case, wrote: 'Few days back i lost my airpods case in Noida. I just received a notification that says the airpods case is in ghaziabad now. Someone has taken it to their home. Please help me get them (sic)."
The community, eager for more updates, urged him to give up his hunt suggesting that it wasn't worth the hassle.
Update 2
Not the one to give up, Aditya, in his follow-up post, shared a new location of the AirPods that were still moving about in the Ghaziabad area.
In the same post, the Reddit user claimed that he had filed an FIR. 'up police has a portal to file lost item complaint. I just used it. Ab wo dhundhenge ya nhi. I don't really care. But ive done my part, (sic)" the distressed owner of AirPods informed that he had filed an online complaint.
Keeping at his endeavour, Aditya, almost 20 days into his search, revealed that he was travelling to Ghaziabad and asked the community to give him tips and tricks on how to go about his hunt.
Reddit, sensing that it wasn't a wise move to go alone and confront locals about his missing device, urged Aditya to go the most sensible route of informing the authorities to accompany him.
'Bro don't do this, what will you do you will entry this slum area and then go in this house or whatever then search for your airport [AirPod] and then come home!!?? You think it's that straight forward. Either enter with police. You won't be able to find the house in the first place it's easy to see on map, (sic)" a concerned netizen responded.
Conclusion
In a 'final update" dated four days ago, Aditya shared a photograph of police officers purportedly at the residence of his missing AirPods and narrated the conclusion of what turned into a desperate, month-long hunt.
Claiming that the AirPods were in Now in Loni, Ghaziabad, Aditya wrote: 'I kept receiving location updated from the airpods case and it was from a home in loni area. I was just not being able to live with the fact that my airpods case is right there and I am not able to retrieve it. So finally on Sunday I left noida with a friend in pursuit of the case, (sic)" he wrote.
The user further stated that he had approached the police in Tila More, a village in Loni, where officers advised against searching for his lost AirPods alone and directed him to contact the police in the jurisdiction where the device last pinged. Alleging that he took trips to six police stations before finally landing at the right one, Aditya was later accompanied by cops who took him to the AirPods' location on the bike.
But after scanning three houses, despite the AirPods pinging from a nearby location, the cops halted their search. Aditya, in his post, revealed that the presence of police led to the formation of a small crowd and they felt it was wise to stop the hunt for good.

British YouTuber travels to Pakistan to recover stolen AirPods a year after losing them in Dubai
British YouTuber Miles Routledge tracked down his stolen AirPods in Pakistan and has now travelled to the country to retrieve them, ending a year-long hunt that has made headlines worldwide. The 24-year-old YouTuber, popularly known as Lord Miles, lost the device a year ago in a hotel room in Dubai and recently shared that he had discovered the AirPods in Pakistan. After the YouTuber was informed about his AirPods being located, he told police that he would come to Pakistan to get them back.(X/@real_lord_miles) "An announcement from the Pakistan Jhelum Police Chief, the Inspector General and Lord Miles regarding the stolen AirPods. I have my AirPods back after 1 year," he wrote in a series of posts on X. In May, he shared that he used Apple's Find My app and discovered the device was in Pakistan's Punjab, in the town of Jhelum. "They got stolen from my hotel in Dubai and made their way to Pakistan. I enabled lost mode and kept playing the 'find me' noise when he's using the AirPods. I'm going to get a police officer and storm the area, get back my AirPods, and film it all. I don't like thieves,' he said. After his post went viral, the Pakistan Police assigned a team to investigate, checking residents who had recently returned from Dubai. They located a man who admitted to have the AirPods but insisted he purchased them in Dubai from an Indian man. After the YouTuber was informed about his AirPods being located, he told police that he would come to Pakistan to get them back. "They also treated me to lunch at the Second Wife restaurant. There were 20 cameramen and journalists from every Pakistani news channel. It turns out this is a national news story, and half of Pakistan knows about it! I asked a random Pakistani on the street, and they knew about my stolen AirPods! I've been recognised several times by strangers!" he said.

Criminal Justice season 4: Who killed Roshni? Anju, Raj, Ira or someone else? Netizens claim killer may not be who you suspect
With the finale of Criminal Justice: A Family Matter dropping on July 3, 2025, fans aren't just waiting—they're investigating. The courtroom drama has turned everyday viewers into full-time Reddit detectives, each armed with screenshots, trailer stills, and timelines. As Pankaj Tripathi 's Madhav Mishra inches closer to uncovering the truth behind nurse Roshni Saluja's murder, the internet is already racing to deliver its verdict. Season 4 has kept audiences gripped with its layered storytelling. Dr. Raj Nagpal stands accused of murdering his girlfriend, nurse Roshni, while his estranged wife Anju and daughter Ira are slowly pulled into the shadows of suspicion. Every episode has introduced a new piece of evidence—from surveillance gaps to a suspicious lactose-free milk bottle—blurring the lines between guilt and innocence. Episode 7 ended with fresh twists, forcing fans to reconsider everything they thought they knew. And now, Reddit is brimming with bold, elaborate theories. (Beware, spoiler alert ahead!) The most convincing theory? The 'other doctor' did it One Reddit user suggests the killer is not Dr. Nagpal, but a fellow physician. According to their theory, this doctor suspected Roshni of poisoning Nagpal's daughter and, out of concern (and a possible college connection with Anju), tried to intervene. A confrontation allegedly turned fatal, with Anju helping cover it up. The motive? Protection. The fallout? A frightened daughter withholding the truth. The twist? She might just testify in the finale. Is the murder weapon a red herring—or the key? The scalpel, found late in the season, sparked intense speculation. Why did Anju hire Madhav Mishra? Was it guilt, or was it to protect someone else, like herself? As more viewers dig deeper, some argue the real killer might be Kamala, based on a woman's hand shown in the trailer's slitting scene. Others lean towards lesser-known characters like Roshni's ex-boyfriend, citing suspiciously little screen time. Slow burn or genius build-up? Fans are split While some viewers have dismissed the season as slow or underwhelming, others argue that the real issue is its weekly release format. 'It's not boring—it's suspenseful,' one fan defended. 'There are over 30 different plausible theories circulating. That means the show is doing its job: no one knows what's coming.' Still, many agree on one thing—if the final twist involves Anju, Raj, or Ira as the killer, it better be backed by airtight logic. Anything less could risk making the tension-filled build-up feel unearned. The final hearing With just one episode to go, Criminal Justice: A Family Matter has managed to do what few shows can—get everyone guessing, debating, and playing armchair detective. As July 3 approaches, one question looms large: Will the writers outsmart the internet?
