I had my purse stolen, and my AirPod Pros were inside. Luckily, I was able to track them down because the thief didn't realize I could locate them. Here's where I'm confused: if he was using the AirPods, did he have to connect them to his phone? If so, can he now track my location? He clearly wasn't very smart since he didn't know I could track them. I've heard that if I remove them from my account, they can't be paired with my device anymore. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Yes, the AirPods can be paired with any device that supports Bluetooth, so he likely did connect them to his phone. However, if they are still linked to your Apple ID, he won't be able to track you. The tracking features are tied to your account, so as long as they show up in your 'Find My' app, you're good. Just make sure to change any relevant passwords. Plus, if you want to stop him from using them, consider removing them from your account.
It sounds like they're still registered to your Apple ID, which means he can't really track you. Check your 'Find My' app to make sure you can still see them. If you want to be extra safe, you can consider marking them as lost, and once you get everything sorted, just turn that off. It’ll keep the thief from using them if you do that.
