Despite having a “weird, gut feeling” about the guy, Cory said she agreed to meet him at the gym for a workout session.

Upon returning home, she was unpacking her bag when she stumbled across her date’s earphones.

“So my gut reaction was he’s tracking me, which he absolutely was because there’s literally no other reason. Why would he put his AirPods in my bag and not tell me?” she said.

AirPods don’t have built-in GPS tracking, but you can use the Find My app to track down and find lost earphones.

Before the discovery, Cory said she was “newly back in the dating world” when she randomly met the man in question during a night out a few months ago.

“The last date I went on with him, we worked out three weeks ago. We went to the gym, we were both using our headphones - he had AirPods,” she said.

“I came home... I was unpacking my bag because I don’t use that bag all the time, and his headphones were in my bag. I was like, what the f***.”

“He did it on purpose.”

Cory knew something wasn’t right so she texted her date asking him how his AirPods ended up in her bag.

The man responded, “Did you steal them?” - leaving Cory furious.

“What the actual f***. Why would you say that?” she thought to herself.

‘No thank you’

“Then I said, ‘Please send me your address by the end of the day so I can send them back to you.’ He immediately said, ‘You can hang on to them.’

“I said, ‘No thank you, please send me an address by the end of the day so I can get them back to you.’ He said, ‘No.’ He gives me another reason to see me’.”

Cory said she started “freaking out” because she assumed he had deliberately placed the earphones into her bag so he could use his app to see her whereabouts.

“I just texted him, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t see you, I’m getting back together with me ex. Please send me an address so I can send them back to you by the end of day’,” she said.

Trying to get an explanation from him, she asked her date, “Any idea how your AirPods got into my bag?”

“He didn’t have an answer,” she said.

“He was like, ‘You’re overthinking it, I already bought new ones, just throw them in the lake’.”

“So he still didn’t answer how they got into my bag?”

‘Something was off’

Cory said she had a strange gut feeling about him “from the beginning”.

“I told my friends multiple times, I have a weird feeling,” she said.

“I like to give people the benefit of the doubt and he didn’t do anything wrong so I thought I would see him one more time because he didn’t do anything wrong.

“But something about him was just off.”

She noticed he had “no social media”, which was a red flag.

“It’s not that that’s a bad thing, but how do you have no social media? Not even a LinkedIn,” she said.

Cory said she eventually shipped the earphones back to him after he gave her his address.

By speaking out, she wanted to warn every woman to be “careful” and “aware of your surroundings”.

‘Trust your gut ladies’

“Check for these tracking devices because you never know who’s watching,” she said.

“Trust your gut feeling ladies.”

Her video has been viewed more than 54,000 times - with many thanking her for raising awareness.

“I’m sorry. Thank you for the PSA and looking out for others. Cheers to no creepers in 2023,” one said.
