TLDR; it was unknowingly sold to a Pakistani man by an Indian national who's now been arrested… — Lord Miles Official (@real_lord_miles) June 27, 2025 It all began when Lord Miles shared his frustrating experience on social media, revealing that his AirPods were stolen in Dubai while he was waiting for a visa. Housekeeping staff visited his room, and afterwards, his AirPods went missing.
