Man's Hunt For Lost AirPods Lands Him In Ghaziabad, Here's What Happened Next
Last Updated:
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.
