The usefulness of Apple’s Find My feature has been proven once again, as a man has recovered his stolen Ferrari via his AirPods.
Man finds stolen Ferrari with AirPods
It is certainly not the first time that stolen items have been recovered thanks to Apple’s Find My function. For example, a stolen Ferrari was recently located in Greenwich, Connecticut. This was done using the AirPods that the owner had accidentally left in the car. A huge blessing in disguise.
It concerns a Ferrari 812 GTS from 2023 with a value of no less than 500,000 euros. That’s a car that the police probably can’t exactly keep up with in a chase. Well, in this case it wasn’t necessary at all. Thanks to the AirPods that were left in the Ferrari, the police were able to track down the thieves very easily. The local news item read as follows:
A 2023 Ferrari, valued at $575,000, was stolen from Greenwich on Sept. 16, according to police. WPD identified and pulled over the stolen car, at which point the driver fled…The owner of the car left a pair of their AirPod headphones inside the vehicle. Waterbury’s Auto Theft Task Force was then able to track the headphones and the car to a gas station on South Main Street.

Preferably use AirTags
It’s quite amazing that a Ferrari worth more than half a million euros was stolen and then recovered thanks to a pair of AirPods. It proves how useful Apple’s Find My feature is and it just goes to show that it’s a good idea to actively use it.
Of course, you don’t have to leave your AirPods lying around everywhere in the hope that it will bring good luck. You can also easily protect your valuables with an AirTag, because you can find them in exactly the same way as AirPods. So hide an AirTag in your car (even if it’s not a Ferrari) and in your electric bicycle. In your suitcase and in your wallet. This increases the chance that you will find your belongings again if you accidentally lose them. Check out the best deals on AirTags below so you don’t pay too much!
