Russian's headphones stolen on Minsk-Moscow train — now they've resurfaced in Baranavichy
A Russian man asked Belarusians to help him retrieve his Apple headphones, which disappeared on the Minsk-Moscow train. Thanks to geolocation, the man discovered that the AirPods are now located in Baranavichy. Belarusians joke: first return the Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk.
"Dear Belarusian friends! My Apple headphones were stolen on September 27 on the Minsk-Moscow train," the man wrote on Threads.
According to him, the headphones are now being used by a person who lives opposite the "Korona" supermarket in Baranavichy. The Russian attached screenshots from the "Locator" app to his post: the device is shown in the area of Nakaniechnikava Street.
The Russian himself is currently in China and plans to return to Belarus in two months. He inquired about how to retrieve his item and expressed hope in "very strict laws regarding theft and unlawful appropriation of another's property."
Some advised the man to leave the AirPods in lost mode so that the owner's contact information would appear on the screen of anyone who tried to use them. One commentator shared a similar story: his backpack with an iPad was stolen, but after a call to the police, the items were returned so quickly that he didn't even have time to finish his order at McDonald's.
"So call the police. Maybe you'll be lucky, and even though you're abroad, your appeal will be accepted," he advised.
The author explained that he had already put the AirPods in lost mode on the train but was rushing for a plane and therefore didn't have time to contact "the police" immediately.
But the comment that gained the most support was "Return the Cross of Euphrosyne of Polotsk, then we'll talk" — it received over 630 likes.
There were also those who were willing to help more concretely. One resident of Baranavichy wrote that she was approximately 500 meters from the headphones but couldn't retrieve them herself: "Only the police." When asked why she wouldn't just go and get the device, the woman asked for the exact address and noted that, judging by geolocation, the headphones were actually lying in a parking lot.
And some doubted the theft version.
"Maybe it wasn't stolen, but someone lost it?" they asked the author. Others noted that the person who now has the AirPods could have found them on the train or bought them from someone, unaware of their origin. Therefore, geolocation alone does not prove who took them and under what circumstances.
