    Most of the time, Find My can’t find my AirPods when they are fully charged, recently used, and in my apartment. I wonder what I’m doing wrong (or the Ferrari owner was doing right).

      Mine kinda half connect all the time. They’re there on my phone. I can see battery and chose them as an audio output. Put I can’t play anything out of them until I remove and pair them again.

      Are Airpods better for tracking third parties (thieves) because they don't beep?

        I have an AirTag in my car. Useful if I forget where I put it.

          FWIW, since iOS 10, an iPhone can be set to automatically drop a pin in Apple Maps for where you last disconnected your iPhone from the car Bluetooth.

          Of course, an AirTag is a stronger solution in some ways.

            Same here. especially useful to track if your sports car is being used for joyrides by the mechanics when I sent it for regular servicing.

            Translation: The owner was important enough to cause the police to actually do their damn job.

            Mere plebians like you or me won't get the same consideration.
