What to do if your AirPods are stolen
Practical steps, with clear limits on what a registry can do.
Check Find My
Use the Apple account already associated with your AirPods. Location and lost-device features differ by model and connection.
Record the right serial
Keep packaging and receipts. The charging case and individual earbuds may have different identifiers; a copied serial does not establish authenticity.
Report safely
Submit ownership evidence with the relevant identifier. Never share an Apple password or verification code in return for a promised recovery.
