HOUSTON, Texas: Raven Lemon had just left dinner with a friend at Grand Lux Cafe in the Galleria area on July 29 when her iPhone notified her that an AirPod was detected nearby.

At first, she thought someone just walked past her – until she kept getting notifications. “I got notification after notification like an Amber Alert,” she said, making her suspect she was being followed.
