I had my Apple Pro Display XDR stolen from the office in Lisbon, Portugal.

They also stole my AirPods Max which has Find My technology built in.

It happened over the weekend and when I found out about the burglary about 2 days later I checked the Find My app. I saw my AirPods Max was in a small town about 3 hours away from my office.

I informed the police and they said there’s nothing they could do about it due to privacy concerns. Ugh.

I considered going there myself, but it being in a foreign country, not knowing the language, having no transportation, and not knowing what or who I’d find when I arrive, I ultimately decided to not risk it and never ended up going.

A few days later the signal went offline. Months after that it showed up on the map again. It was in Moldova at a shopping mall known for selling electronic parts.

I don’t know what happened to my Apple Pro Display XDR, but if you ever see one for sale in Portugal please send me a message :D

BTW, interesting side story: They didn’t just steal my display and headphones, but also many computers from other offices. Multiple floors except one. I guess they didn’t have time for that one. A week later they came back to rob that other floor as well.
