Or perhaps resist the „well actually“-urge ;-)

As you do?
I think my point still holds, guy lives in range of Find My, Find My notices it a week later - ah ha this guy definitely stole it? Seems a logical disconnect.

you don't need to be "in range" for Find My to work, all it takes is someone with an Apple device to be nearby

I didn’t want to muddy the original story, but I had nest cam footage of the actual theft but too blurry to make a positive ID. I saved the footage. The guy was very tall and built like a football player. With sandals.
When I met the guy that night a week later he opened the door and it was pretty obvious he was the guy. Same sandals.
Beyond a reasonable doubt? Eh, probably not.
>The officer went back and said “listen, we know they are in your apartment, we can hear them, either go get them or we are getting a search warrant.” The guy said “ohhhh well I did have a party last week and there’s this backpack…”
>Uh huh. Headphones returned.
I mean from your description sounds like the guy was telling the truth, or is your theory that he stole your airpods, went on vacation and came back home after several weeks - which of course is also a possibility, but I think backpack left over from party sounds also reasonable.
on edit: hmm, early in the morning, so now I understand it was a week after being stolen they showed up on Find My..guess need more coffee.
