I will find you," he wrote in another post, sharing an AI-generated image of Hollywood actor Liam Neeson holding a pair of AirPods — a playful nod to the action-packed film ' Taken '. His posts quickly gained traction, with many weighing in on the oddity of the mission. 'Wouldn't it be easier and, I would think, cheaper, to just buy a new pair?" one user asked.

'Jhelum is in the vicinity of Kirana Hills around which villages have been cleared due to radiation leaks. Also allegedly, the city is the epicenter of the dark-web p3d0 content," a user wrote. 'You could wait till it's a part of India. It will be much easier to get them then. Btw get ample insurance before leaving for Pakistan. And gallons of water too. They don't have any left now," another added. 'Why are third world people so talented at stealing Apple products and why does Apple seem to not mind how often their products are stolen?," a user remarked. First Published:

18 Adult Purchases That Were Worth Every Penny
Adulthood often comes with needing to be financially responsible, but sometimes, making those big purchases really pays off. Recently, BuzzFeed Community members shared the adult splurges they made and would buy again in a heartbeat, and you might want to jot some of these down: "Business class airfare on flights that are nine hours or longer. My old bones just can't sit that long in economy anymore." —Anonymous "A mill composter was and is worth every penny. Our waste has gone from eight garbage bags to three, and my garden looks great." "I love my Roomba. He does a much better job than I do of sweeping or vacuuming. Plus, having one helps me keep things off the floor so that our Roomba, named Bananas, doesn't 'eat them,' as my kids say. We say things like, 'We don't want Bananas to eat your cards or Legos, just dirt.'" —toomanykidsnotenoughtime "Pet insurance for all of our dogs. Things come up out of nowhere with well-cared-for dogs, like injuries, skin issues, stomach issues, and even euthanasia. Having pet insurance gives me the best peace of mind that I will get generously reimbursed after treatment." "AirPod Pros changed my life with the quality of their noise cancellation. I get so overwhelmed by crowds because of the noise, but now, I never have to worry about it. It's honestly incredible. They were $250, but I use them daily and have never regretted the purchase." —misaamaneyagami"I splurged on some noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones, and it's made my life so much easier. I even felt comfortable during a phone call the other day with them on."—certified_drapetomaniac "I bought a Chilipad for my bed. I run hot anyway, but perimenopause made it a thousand times worse. I went from waking up all night and marinating in my own sweat to cool and comfortable, uninterrupted sleep. I tried every cooling sheet, breathable jammies, and lightweight comforter, but nothing worked as well as the Chilipad. It was a life-changing investment for sure." "A decent, small espresso machine and coffee bean grinder were a lot of money for me, but they were so worth it." —gurkanserdig "As a doctor, I think the best thing a relatively healthy middle-aged American adult can do is 'buy' a concierge primary care doctor. They're what American doctors were 30 years ago. It's worth their weight in gold." "An air fryer. I hate cooking, and eating out is too expensive. I use it daily." —Anonymous "I splurged on a new TV in January. My 16-year-old first-generation plasma finally gave out, so I took $800 and went to Walmart when they had a President's Day sale. I got a 55-inch 4K TV, and I gasped at the difference. My roommate and I are still amazed by the definition. I told her it feels like the uncanny valley, or like we are flies on the wall watching the actors in person. I will never go back to anything else." "Hiring a twice-a-month cleaning service has changed my life! I will never go back!" —queenvofthenile "I gave myself a full facelift as a 60th birthday gift. A couple of obnoxious weeks of recovery later, I feel like a new person. It was 100% worth every penny." "A Dyson hair dryer. Yes, $500 for a hair dryer is expensive, but when you are a person who doesn't really have the option to air dry (yay for frizzy hair), reducing the time it takes me to dry my hair from 15 minutes to five is worth every penny. And if you consider time to be money, then the hair dryer has paid for itself by saving me 30–40 minutes a week. I bought it four years ago, and it still works great." —Anonymous "In-home euthanasia. I spent $850 to have my cat put to rest at home, on his favorite spot on the couch. He had a very large tumor on his leg, and moving him was so difficult and painful. I refused to let his last moments be spent in his two least favorite places: the crate and the vet. I'd do it again a thousand times; I've never regretted it." "A convertible. It's so much fun, and it's an absolute lifesaver when my brain starts feeling itchy. A sunrise drive with the top down and a huge cup of coffee makes the world feel right again." —kestrel "A riding lawn mower. I have a big yard and arthritis in both knees, and I used to dread mowing so much. I got a $5K electric riding mower on sale for $3K at the end of last year's season, and it has changed my life! Mowing takes so much less time now, and I do a better job overall because I have more energy for edging, weed-whacking, etc. I also don't dread the task like I used to, so I'm much less cranky, hot, and sweaty when I'm done. Zero regrets." "Quality pots and pans are a must. I'm replacing my 40-year-old set as we speak. Boy, did I get my money's worth from them!" —oldeagle46 Lastly: "I bought an electric vehicle. I don't pay for pricey gas, and the electricity where I live is all hydro and way cheaper. Also, I can find dedicated parking spaces and use HOV lanes! Plus, the driving experience is like no other." I need to look into a Chilipad just because I hate being hot, TBH. What's a pricey adult purchase you made that you ended up not regretting at all?

AirPods stolen from mail are tracked to USPS worker's Louisiana home, feds say
National AirPods stolen from mail are tracked to USPS worker's Louisiana home, feds say A former U.S. Postal Service employee was sentenced on a mail theft charge, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana. Jason Hawke via Unsplash A customer's new AirPods were missing from a package that had been clearly 'opened and resealed,' leading them to believe the devices were stolen, according to federal court filings. With the help of tracking technology, the AirPod Pros were found at a U.S. Postal Service employee's home in New Orleans, where she worked at a mail processing and distribution center, court documents say. The now-former postal worker, Sonia Miller, was caught on camera opening and stealing mail from at least seven packages at her workplace between January 2023 and April 2023, according to court documents. The investigation that began with the customer reporting their AirPods as stolen resulted in Miller pleading guilty to theft of U.S. mail by a postal employee, a federal charge, according to prosecutors. Now, a federal judge has sentenced Miller to three years of probation, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana said in a May 5 news release. She avoided a possible prison sentence, as the charge of mail theft by a postal employee can lead to a potential consequence of up to five years in prison. Miller's defense attorneys didn't immediately return McClatchy News' request for comment May 6. Before the stolen AirPods were reported missing in January 2023, an investigation revealed the package that was supposed to include the devices had been scanned at the New Orleans mail facility, where Miller worked, days earlier, according to court documents. Then, surveillance footage from January to April 2023 showed Miller rifling through a variety of parcels on multiple occasions and pocketing at least one mailed item in her bag, prosecutors wrote in filings. The USPS Office of the Inspector General investigated Miller, who's due back in court for a restitution hearing scheduled for July 24, court records show. More on mail theft During the early COVID-19 pandemic, there was a sharp increase in mail theft complaints, according to a September 2023 report issued by the U.S. Postal Service's Office of Inspector General. From March 2020 through February 2021, there were 299,020 mail theft complaints — a 161% increase 'compared to the same period in the previous year,' the report said. Suspected mail theft can be reported to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service online or by calling 1-877-876-2455.
