The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

So it wasn't for the airpods themselves, but rather airpods being in the stolen car was how they attempted to find the carjackers. While the police definitely screwed up, the article author is going out of their way to create the most rage inducing headline possible.
The author does not write the headlines.
Unfortunate for them that their name is right under the headline. Does the editor write the headline?
The sub-editor writes it.
Then what does the dom-editor do all day?
Makes sure the naughty little subs do their jobs.
