A passenger has accused airline staff of pocketing his expensive earphones after tracking them to BA's London training school.
Apple's Bluetooth earphones 'AirPods' have a unique quirk to counter the risk of losing them. Users can use the Find My devices app to keep tabs on the pricey, $400 wirelessearbuds. A handy trick for the tiny devices, which have a habit of separating from their owners and each other.
This week a BA passenger took to social media to claim his AirPods were taken by an Airport Worker after reporting them lost.
Tim Briggs said his wireless earbuds went missing after a flight from Texas to London three weeks ago.
Having reported them as missing to the airline, he noticed they began wandering on his app.
The pods appeared to be commuting daily to the Global Learning Academy, at Heathrow Airport. Three weeks later they were still making the journey, he assumed, in the ears of an employee at the airport. He inferred from the fact they were still charged meant they were in use.
A spokesperson for BA said they were working with Briggs to track down the earphones.
"We are currently investigating the matter," the airline told the Daily Mail.
