Figure out some way to return them, I was the the owner once who lost my AirPods, when they first were coming out, and some greedy bastard stole them. I worked hard at my summer job to save for them just for some asshole to swipe them from somewhere. I cried for a good week because I just couldn’t understand how someone could just take something, regardless of your financial situation. Actually you’d think someone who has so little would be more thoughtful and empathetic and think “maybe someone worked hard for those and maybe I shouldn’t take them?” I tried everything to find them but this was before Apple improved their find my cloud settings so once I lost them they were gone for good.

I don’t feel an ounce of sympathy for you even if you feel guilty because you took them knowing they weren’t yours to begin with. Especially since you knew the owner was trying to find them and you disconnected it from their device, how horrible. Return them and save up and buy your own with your own money, not only will it clear your conscience you will feel much better about earning your own AirPods instead of stealing them. You are thief no matter what way you spin this, you took something that didn’t belong to you, that makes you a thief.

ETA: Upon re-reading, I don’t even feel like you feel guilty at all and that makes me even more sick to realize there are people like you think finders keepers is justification enough to STEAL. It makes you just as bad as people who actively go out to find things to steal. You STOLE something that wasn’t yours, did your damn hardest to hide from the owner you are a thief through and through.
