When my @Apple AirPods were stolen off a @Qatar Airways layover flight in #Doha I had the joy, nay the privilege of watching them travel the world for no less than five months …
This is the story of how I got my #Apple Airpods back
I’m not sure how this will be received, no doubt there’s an argument over whether this is the pettiest thing I’ve ever done, the most creative advertising content i’ve ever made, or it could be viewed as just downright ridiculous and nonsensical …
Whichever way it goes, i’m here for it!
Now I actually realised I’d left my cherished beauties on the plane the moment I walked off the aircraft, however I was told I couldn’t go back aboard to retrieve them.
I was however told “don’t worry” and they would be brought to me if I waited at the lost and found desk … so okay …
I saw no reason for them to lie. I placed the fate of my musical future in their professional hands.
Alas, four hours passed and they still hadn’t found them, my hope began to falter and I broke out in cold sweat at the thought of having to listen to Britney Spears on repeat at the gym from this moment forwards.
I was quickly put at ease by the ever professional and helpful customer service team as they said “don’t worry” “you’re in the same seat, on the same plane, for the flight back” … “they will still be there” …
Well Qatar Airways they bloody weren’t.
In a moment of weakness, it appeared a member of staff had pocketed them and hadn’t handed them in despite the tearful British gentleman being comforted by the lost & found team as they called down constantly to tell the crew to tell them I was waiting … cold and callous if you ask me.
From that moment on, my AirPods were on the holiday of a lifetime.
They flew from #Qatar to Katmandu, before heading to a small village in the Himalayan mountains overlooking #Nepal. They then took a short jaunt to Thailand before finally coming to rest back in Doha.
I just couldn’t stand it any longer!
What you witness here today, is what happens when a disruptive marketing weirdo, with nothing left to lose, decides enough … is enough.

An ordinary guy trying to achieve extraordinary things! In 2016 I made myself a promise to chase my dreams and take every opportunity (I blame the film Yes Man). In 2020 I launched my own marketing agency focused on being unorthodox and disruptive!
This channel documents my journey during startup and beyond … when I make it to where I’m going, I hope it serves as a type of diary I can look back on and share with others in the near future. This is my life.
And in the midst of all this chaos, we actually did test the Apple “Find My Feature” and show just how powerful this technology really is!
Enjoy 👊🏻😈

Anyone else come here from Ladbible 😂
That is epic! Just shows how clever Apple products are! Always stand by Apple for that exact reason! Awesome video too!
Wait, is this guy from the apprentice?
Came from Ladbible
Got my stolen iPhone back with find my, went to their house and they denied it but called me later and blamed their daughter claiming she “found it” on the ground in an estate when it was stolen from a bathroom 😂
Why didn’t you ask him anything or show footage of the guy? Video seems scripted
Quiet a thrilling experience, loved every second of it
sure not staged at all
This is unreal! So did they steal them?
Honestly, the way you got them back was incredible the journey was insane. But personally I would never use them again, don’t know where they’ve been or what ears they’ve been in
This is so tense but amazing content
Keep it up 👍
I don’t feel like I really got closure from this story because we saw nothing about the person that had them or how they got them or how they reacted.
Bro can you turn the music up i can nearly hear you at the end
He is quite literally "A Man of Focus, Commitment and Sheer Fucking Will"
"Climate crisis? What climate crisis?"
Selfish bellend.
I enjoyed this video!🙂🙂
Good global content rated E for everyone! 😀😀
Hopefully your enthusiasm and vigor will be seen in a positive light! 🎯🎯
How has this only got 12k views it’s fucking jokes the amount of travel u went though u could of bought 40 more pairs😂😂😂
The ending music was too fucking loud and annoying I didn’t even want to finish watching the video
this content was insane, i have a favorite hoodie but its was got stolen, i already try trackdown all thrift store, marketplace, ect. but i can't find it, but mad respect to you
Imagine they sold it to that guy. Be sad moment
OH WOW
That’s why I love Apple .
Well definitely it's trending, am watching from kenya 🇰🇪 😀 😄 nice one
Came here from 9gag haha so now Im expecting apple to get you something now because of what you did HAHAHA Wait till they hear about this.
Wow!!!
“how petty are you?”
me:
So he found then and gets called a thief?
Apple should definitely sponsor you after this 😂
this definitely should get more views after all that work😂
Hi there, the same thing has happened to me! Except on a bus where I also left my AirPods. Could you maybe explain how the sound feature and “find my” works because the location isn’t very specific- the last time I searched for them, I couldn’t go upstairs to the residential units to ask around because the lifts are access only and restricted. 🙁
Think @apple should reimburse your air fair lad haha great video
That ladies and gentlemen, has to be the very best Apple Airpod commercial i've ever watched
You realize that there are places where they can help you with battling mental retardation, right?
you're a jabroni
Oh you know what you doin
benim Air Podsu da bulsana iki hafta önce kaybettim çok üzüldüm,düşünüp duruyorum aceba nerelerde geziyo ve kimin kulağında 🤔
Those airpods belongs to nepal- k .p. Sharma oli
That poor guy, might have lost his job after this. See the living condition the guy was living in. Btw, QR is stern for theft and dishonesty amongst their staff.
EX QR staff here.
The earth is thankful for your CO2 footprint! 🤡
On the flip side , is there a proactive way of returning found AirPods back to their rightful owners?
