Bengaluru Auto-Driver Tracked A Customer Down To Return Her Lost AirPods

Some of us fear losing our belongings in auto rickshaw and cab rides more than getting lost in a new city. That is why this tale of a Bengaluru auto-driver tracking down his customer to give her her AirPods back is so endearing!

In a tweet, Shidika talked about leaving her AirPods in an auto, and her auto-driver making the effort of finding her and returning them by dropping them off at her place of work. How sweet is this?

Lost my AirPods while traveling in an auto. Half an hour later this auto driver who dropped me at WeWork showed up at the entrance & gave it back to security. Apparently, he connected the AirPods to find the owner's name & used his PhonePe transactions to reach me. @peakbengaluru

Auto drivers in Bangalore are real OGs. This is not the first story of this kind that I’ve heard. No wonder why Bangalore is the perfect destination for entrepreneurs

First of all he had to be a good person to do something like this out of the way and second of all he had to be smart to figure out which customer lost it – Bhai hats off! 👍🏻
