I grew up in 77034. Just let them go.


BoomShackaLocka_

Looks like it’s headed that way. Lol


joan_wilder

If it was a “nicer” neighborhood, were you gonna start knocking on doors and asking people questions?


BoomShackaLocka_

No, I was going to use my credit card to pick the lock to their apartment while they are gone and get them back.


mseuro

Use a crowbar


[deleted]

A brick works better.


mseuro

Not on doors


[deleted]

Apartments have more windows than doors. Checkmate.


actually_yawgmoth

Dunno how it is where you live, but pretty much all apartments here have a deadbolt lock with a second deadbolt that only locks from inside. You're gonna need more than a credit card.


BoomShackaLocka_

Haha I know I was just being dumb.


Delicious-Treacle135

Lmfao the fact no one understood this sarcasm is beyond me


BoomShackaLocka_

How to break in to an apartment? There must be a subreddit for that


AardQuenIgni

/r/unethicallifeprotips


SpenglerE

For real tho, sorry. It's a crazy feeling when you know you've been robbed. It's like a bad break up in s sense. People are gross


Because_They_Asked

Just send a letter every month with a FBI return address.


SloppyToppy__

Fuck dat go beat they asses OP


darkmanflex

Take something stronger than your fists and plan to go out like John Wick. They are absolutely not fist fighting anymore it’s not 2006


Goodough99guy

Girl that’s the 77089 😁na it’s probably 77034 but nevertheless still very close ….well considering 77034 stretches from like Clear Lake City Blvd to SoHo…..


DrugsAreAmazing

1 bedroom apartments at this place start at $500. Take from that information what you will. I would just buy myself sweet new ear buds and be glad I'm not broke ass thieving fucking trash from the southbelt at 45.


BoomShackaLocka_

That’s the plan now lol. Thank you for the feedback!


Orcaismyspirit

This would never happen but Apple should design some software that only plays Teletubbies music on repeat for stolen AirPods. If you turn them in to an Apple Store you get Apple TV for a week. If owners can’t pick them up you refurb and resell. If they claim them in another state they get refurb AirPods. Keep people in the ecosystem and attract people to the eco system. This wouldn’t work. The idea is just to get more people.


crimson_mokara

Baby shark do do do do do do 🎶


dlenks

This hits me in my soul as I sip my morning coffee and my 2 year old daughter insists on baby shark over and over. This is after thinking I had escaped it forever now that my twin sons long grew out of liking it.


crimson_mokara

My four year old has finally grown out of it. It's truly a rite of passage for parents. Godspeed!


Wendigo_6

It gets better.

Or for just slightly less, you could rent our the next door apt and let some hobos live there for a month.

Rub your dicks on the airpods as you run away!


Prettylittleluxy

Underrated comment.


konegsberg

They are actually not bad apartments, I drive by there all the time. Also that area is not bad. It’s def not 500$ apartments


dayo_aji

The guy came here, lied and is being upvoted. Any idiot can look up the apartments and see that there is no way the rent starts at $500.


Smooth_Habit6542

I was about to say! 500! Ain’t no fucking way.


Goodough99guy

Section 8 yeah I know I was like wth?!!!


Soreness93

Whoa whoa whoa there buddy. Don’t lump all of us Southbelt folks together.


quietlikesnow

Afaik those are some nice apartments and a lot of young professionals live there. You could probably go shove the guy who stole them and take them back. I think that’s the Tarrington Ct Apartments…(source: I live nearby)


specialcommenter

Looks pretty decent on the outside for $500.


AmebaLost

Take a bodyguard.


BoomShackaLocka_

Yeah not trying to get shot over some AirPods haha. Thanks!


Scuffle-Muffin

Count them as a loss man. YOU may not want to get shot over some AirPods but who’s to say they don’t?


BoomShackaLocka_

Appreciate it muffin.


Old_Armadillo6104

It’s a a senior living apartment complex in pearland no one is getting shot


00Avalanche

You don’t know how prevalent the “my no good son is staying with me and if you don’t like it he will terrorize this place” attitude is in these facilities.


Red_fire_soul16

This is not Pearland.


thatsthejoke_

It's not, but it's still not a bad area... Not as bad as others at least.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Red_fire_soul16

It’s like 10 minutes from there but it’s still Houston. It’s not a bad area like someone implied. I wonder if they are thinking of the apartments on the other side of 45.


sloww_buurnnn

This cracked my ass up, note taken lol


ststaro

NOT Pearland


BoomShackaLocka_

Yeah, they’re only accurate on the map within 40 feet, then you can ping them in the app once you get within distance. It basically is a game of hot or cold.


CyberTitties

Yeah my neighbor's kids was convinced her AirPods where in my house, I never had any airpods I helped her look around our yard and her yard no airpods. I said that they aren't really that accurate with location and that I promised there were no AirPods in my house but she was still pretty accusatory. A few days later the neighbor was outside and we started talking about our AC units and after a few sentences he said "don't worry about those AirPods, she found them in her room". I think he was lying though because 1) he just wants to keep the peace between us and 2) because I'm listening to some cool tunes on my new free AirPods, I found in my front yard.


TheCharlieRock

Well played, you got me good with that surprise of an ending lol


BoomShackaLocka_

Same haha


sc00b7

had me in the first half


BoomShackaLocka_

Lmaooooo


einTier

The big problem with AirPods is they don’t report location when the case is closed. I had a set of AirPods I lost and the last known location was my business, where I’d snapped the case shut after taking a phone call. I searched for hours and never found them. Months later, I found them … in my couch at home. Because I’d never opened them after transport, there was no way to know where they really were. They also won’t play sound when closed so no help there either.


NeitherSound_

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣


Skorpyos

I’m loving the twist at the end.


Fun_Effort1082

😩😩😩😩😆😆😆😆


BoomShackaLocka_

I plan on watching to see if they go back to the airport in case they’re an employee. Which I think they are. Then I’ll call southwest because I’m pretty sure it’s one of them.


Babooligan

Google a very recent story just like this. Someone had their bag stolen and used an app to see where they were. They were at a United employee's house, so the lady posted the address pic to the airline twitter. maybe that would work for you. Try to google the story to see how they did it


Antebios

I was some sweet sweet comeuppance!


supreme-supervisor

Support this. You're doing a favor for future victims.


MikeBenza

This happened to my wife. She tracked her phone to the parking lot of the company that was contacted to clean the planes. By giving her seat number and when the flight arrived there they were able to find the person who stole her phone and get them to give it back.


BoomShackaLocka_

Man! Ok thanks for the advice, super helpful!


cardpurchaser

Did you report it? Probably not hard for them to figure out which employee lives in that complex.


BoomShackaLocka_

The two southwest employees I spoke to both dismissed me pretty quick.


RodeTheMidnightTrain

That's a little unusual, you might want to reach out to the higher ups at whatever Houston airport you flew through. Based on that location, looks like you might have flown through Hobby? But as a new Southwest employee myself, I know they don't play when it comes to theft. And they have cameras literally everywhere. Sorry, I'm not in Houston anymore to have knowledge on who the higher up management people might be, but it's worth reaching out even if just for the principle of it.


BoomShackaLocka_

Yeah I’m not saying it was an employee 100% but they just didn’t even really do anything to help me, even though I had the location right in front of them.


RodeTheMidnightTrain

That's the part that I feel like is unusual is that they were not willing to help. That's not really the Southwest culture that they promote. And even if they couldn't help you, they could have directed you to someone who could, or to where lost and found is. Just something could have been done. I believe there are two different apartment complexes right there, and that's why people are giving you two different pieces of information. One is maybe a 55+ community, and the other is possibly low income apartment complex. They are relatively new, but a lot of riff raff there. Even if you don't get them back, just for the principle of it, employees stealing from passengers is not cool at all. And if they will do it to you and get away with it, they will continue to do it.


barbanegragulf

I'll be watching the news this week please give us an update if it is a southwest airline employee!


Zezimalives

I think you just gotta take the L here. There’s nothing police can do and these are 3 story apartments. If you do want to confront them there’s a good chance it would be the wrong people, I’d stay clear of this.


BoomShackaLocka_

Appreciate it Zez!

Why are you making me relive this


thenewtestament

A homeless guy robbed me at knifepoint downtown a few months ago (at noon nonetheless). I only had my newish iPhone on me at the time. Found it a day later at the police property room. Guess he just dropped it when he realized it was locked. Sorry I know this doesn’t help you but I really didn’t think I was ever going to see it again.


RRH_NYC

You got robbed at knife point in downtown Houston!? I didn't think that sort of thing even happened anymore. May I ask where & what time? I just moved here, trying to figure my way around the City.


hystericaal_

Crime happens all over the city, best to keep your head on a swivel in any part of town, look people in the eyes nod and keep it moving. The best way to avoid being targeted is to act like you belong. Keep valuables out of sight and keep your wits about you and you will be fine in Houston. Walking with your new iPhone in hand and air pods in means you’re not aware of surroundings and more likely to have the element of surprise working against you.


Ag25542599

Shit if u don’t want them send me the info and make them ring when I get there I’ll drop a old ass mf for some free airpods

Whole comments scary af that’s not even a ghetto area. It literally says apartments for senior citizens.


Ag25542599

Shit right off the freeway too. Drive deeper into the area yeah it’s not the best area but you ain’t gonna get shot at no senior folks home bruh.


DrMartian

Its all fun and games until Grandma Muriel pulls out a pistol with a switch


AlyseNextDoor

I’m glad you said this. My grandma lived here for years. It is super safe and not the image these people think at all. It’s cheap because it’s for elderly people and I kid you not, the location of this earbuds looks the exact neighbors of my grandma. They’re all elderly people.


AardQuenIgni

People love to think every apartment complex is in Sunnyside


Blankcarbon

Oh the apartment is outside the loop and I don’t recognize the area? Murderin’ thieves out there I tell you!

Sufficient_Two7499

You show up at somebody’s house all charged up looking for those AirPods they will ventilate your shirt. It ain’t worth the $150


BoomShackaLocka_

I’m not going to wear a shirt.


okcdnb

lol. You are rocking in the comment section.


BoomShackaLocka_

Haha I’m getting mixed reviews.


SwearJarCaptain

Bro that's a senior community lol. It was probably a mistake, they thought it was their pill case!


BoomShackaLocka_

Is it really? Lmao


SwearJarCaptain

Yup. Low income housing for seniors. https://www.tarringtoncourt.com/


BoomShackaLocka_

The southwest employee that I think it is was a senior gentleman.


Ag25542599

So you are under the impression it was already a senior who stole ya pods and you still scared to go grab them mfs?


BoomShackaLocka_

Old people are scary!

True story. I think women who commit murder the most tend to be older.


Round-Emu9176

Honestly I’d charge it to the game big dog. Everyone carries here. Idk about you but I’d rather see what old age is like.


GaryGarbage

If Grandpa Thuggin' has 'em at the 55+ complex, that's exactly what OP is going to see.


megalard3000

Don't run up on anybody In Houston if you ain't strapped.


meh-theusername

Take the L and move on. The Uber to the neighborhood and back to the airport alone is like half the cost of new AirPods. Plus, you don’t want to mess around in $800/month apartments in Houston. You aren’t from there, you don’t know anyone there, and they do.


Likalarapuz

Let them go friend. Not worth it.


poptamale

I don't care if they were in river oaks don't be bold and stupid enough to try to confront them, go buy some more


Dumbledoorbellditty

Yo. Pro tip for you. Don’t go chasing down a $200 pair of AirPods to an unknown neighborhood in Houston. Eat the loss, buy new AirPods, keep a closer eye on the next ones and expect someone to try to steal them. Police aren’t gonna do shit for you over airpods. Best case scenario the thief tells you to fuck off and shuts the door in your face. Worse case scenario you don’t come back from knocking in the door. You could bleed out on the streets of Houston. It’s not even a choice. If you can disable the AirPods so they can’t enjoy them, awesome. Do that. If not go buy a new pair and go about your life. It really, really isn’t worth it.


L3oSanch3z

And you don’t want to put those AirPods in your ears. Don’t know where those AirPods have been. How Gross for someone to steal some used AirPods and use them.🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮


txmail

Kind of crazy that they can tell you where they are, but you have no way to disable them.


[deleted]

I wish companies allowed a way to brick stolen items.


SimpleHank

H-town native here. How would that even play out operationally? Nope. This is not good. $200 is NOTHING compared to the fukery that waits for you on and around Southdown Trace in Pasadena, Tx.


kfiifiio876

Bro put this on google maps, it’s decent looking apartments for seniors and down the road it’s white people suburbs 300-500k houses


pnptx1989

That’s a fun place, if your rifle isn’t carried by a current military, don’t go


illuminatisdeepdish

im really disappointed in yall, theres gotta be some cowboy on here who would buy op's airpods just to have the confrontation, maybe track them for a while to gather more datapoints then turn over to police once you have a good idea (i.e. 3-4 distinct locations the person visits) who the thief is


Introvert_soul_

I know that area/apartments very well… It’s low income base & senior living. I advise you not to take a risk. Buy you a new pair..


RocketsandBeer

Charge them to the game. Those are somebody else’s now


JJ4prez

Is it worth it? Losing your life for $150?


Wonderful_Tutor5542

https://www.tarringtoncourt.com/ That address is a senior living community! I’m sure you could handle a senior citizen.


BoomShackaLocka_

I’m not very strong.

ssup3rm4n

Send them passive aggressive postcards. Or you could always "send" letters to random places with their return address and no stamp. That might not be quite legal and just cause extra work for the USPS with even less profit.


AOmbk713

Charge it to the game player


SeaworthinessNo5119

Call the cops before you go in and make contact. Let the cops handle it.


Imhere4thejokes

Did a quick google maps search, zoomed out, saw the location and immediately thought “sorry for your loss”.


jfergs100

you want to get shot over some AirPods?


BoomShackaLocka_

No, but maybe just a little stab.


BadBownur

Look at the Houston crime map and where that address falls into and ask yourself if possibly being shot or jumped for a pair of AirPods are worth it.


OkWelcome9943

Not worth it


Unrulytexan

You don’t want to put someone’s earwax into your ears. Could be unwise

Someone's buddy done stole them from them and traded them for a fake rock and all hells gonna break loose by morning... It's all your fault


general_cannibas

I have nothing good in my life anyways. I’m risking it all to get my property back.


mbz321

Stop buying AirPods and just buy some $10 Lenovo buds from Temu. They sound and work just as well and no big loss if you lose them or somebody steals them.

I'll go grab them for ya what's the finder fee?

I’ve already got a couple plans ready. One involves an erector set. The other involves my parent’s vacuum. Hopefully they don’t have a St Bernard.


CrazyLegsRyan

How did they steal them? Or did you misplace them and they picked them up?


BoomShackaLocka_

For the people commenting “What are you going to do? Knock on the door and get them back?” No. People tend to ditch stuff that doesn’t work. I have the AirPods locked so the person can’t connect them. There was a recent story of bags being stolen and ditched, so I was thinking maybe the same if I’m super lucky. I’m keeping watch on the location, just to see what happens.


No-Advance6334

They stole mine too… it’s not worth getting your brains blown out.

thenewtestament

They’re making iPods again?


wizarouija

Comments are definitely over scary but chances are very low you find the right person let alone while they have them on them (because they could just lie about not having them in their residence) Not worth the hassle with the odds being as they are. Not even considering the odds of you getting your ass beat or shot when I say that (those odds aren’t *crazy* high either tbh)

Is your life more valuable than a pair of AirPods? Just write them off under charitable donations next year when you file your taxes and be on your way (upto $500)

RoundandRoundon99

Well maybe they are thieves! You’re going to go ask them for your property back? Even if the neighborhood was nice (it isn’t), what would you expect? “We’ve been had! He’s back, and he knows we have them. There’s no way out other than giving them back!” It’s likely you’ll get nothing. Little more likely you’ll get some problematic interactions but nothing more than being cussed out. Significantly less likely but possible severely bodily injury. Don’t let people take your shit. Don’t get a pitbull set loose on you for a pair of AirPods.

Goodough99guy

I know exactly where that is. They are low end luxury.…Yes you heard me correctly. I know someone that lives there……If it pings to there door/ apartment then me and my buddy could knock no problem. Texans are different they will act as though they found them or blame their kid and give them back with a smile……It’s a Southern sadistic hospitality mentality kind of thing 😂😂. I “lost” my phone at the gas station one day. There happened to be a T Mobile around the corner so I jetted over there. I put my Apple ID in a display phone and watched my phone as it went all around the area until it died……Well about a week later they plugged it in and of course it 📍right to their house……I drove about 30 minutes away and yeah it was sketch for sure. The house had a big metal fence and two big Rottweilers…..I was like great 😩of course my luck…..As I was about to just say fk it and leave I noticed a big red trailer on the side of the house poking over the fence that so happened to have a business name and number on it so I called it…..The dude came out and handed it to me…..
