YouTuber travels to Pakistan to recover AirPods stolen in Dubai using Apple's tracking feature
Image: X British YouTuber Lord Miles, known for his adventurous and often unconventional travel stories, has added another wild chapter to his already chaotic resume. This time, it's not about exploring war zones or navigating unstable borders — it's about chasing down a pair of stolen AirPods halfway across the world. The 24-year-old lost the earbuds more than a year ago in a hotel room in Dubai, but thanks to Apple's "Find My" feature and some viral internet momentum, he tracked them to Jhelum, Pakistan. Instead of writing them off as a loss, Lord Miles did what only he would do — booked a flight, packed his bags, and turned a missing pair of earbuds into an international manhunt. What began as a tech hiccup became a global social media moment, culminating in a police operation, media blitz, and a now-famous meal at a restaurant called 'Second Wife.' How British YouTuber Lord Miles' journey to Pakistan began The saga started with a tweet. Lord Miles took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent about his AirPods, which he believed were taken by hotel staff during his stay in Dubai while he was waiting for a visa. Months later, while casually checking the "Find My" app, he noticed the device had popped back online — this time, not in the UAE, but in Pakistan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo With the location pinpointed to the vicinity of a spot humorously named the '2nd Wife Restaurant' in Jhelum, the story immediately gained traction online. Instead of sitting back, Miles leaned into the absurdity and tweeted that he planned to 'storm the area' with help from local police. Within hours, the post went viral, attracting global attention — and, most importantly, the attention of the Jhelum police. Local police, viral tweets, and a stolen gadget To the surprise of many, the local authorities didn't brush the case off. In fact, they acted quickly. A dedicated team was formed, and investigators began checking households in the area with residents recently returned from Dubai. The viral nature of the story helped it gain urgency, and soon enough, police discovered a man in possession of the AirPods. The man claimed he had purchased the earbuds from an Indian national in Dubai without realizing they were stolen. That seller, according to the police, has since been arrested on charges of procuring and trafficking stolen goods. What could've been dismissed as a minor theft instead became a cross-border case — with Twitter updates and a crowd of intrigued followers watching in real time. A hero's welcome and national fame When Lord Miles finally landed in Pakistan to recover his long-lost AirPods, he didn't just get his tech back — he received rockstar treatment. The local police organized a press conference featuring the Inspector General, while news crews from across the country swarmed the scene. He was even hosted at the now-iconic Second Wife Restaurant, where his AirPods were allegedly tracked. There, surrounded by over 20 cameramen and local journalists, Miles dined in front of the very building that became central to his quest. He later tweeted, 'Turns out this is a national news story — half of Pakistan knows about my AirPods!' From earbuds to headlines — a viral mission complete What began as a petty theft turned into a full-fledged international saga. Lord Miles' commitment to tracking down his stolen AirPods proved that, in today's digital age, no incident is too trivial to become headline news. With tracking apps, viral posts, and just enough eccentric energy, even a pair of wireless earbuds can spark a global manhunt. And in this case, they also earned a YouTuber national fame, a police escort, and a seat at one of Pakistan's most talked-about restaurants.
