One thing just occurred to me which is somewhat related to this, if someone tries to register Air Pods that Amazon "reported as lost/stolen" wouldn't they deny the registration? I know when I check my serial on Apples site it says "Purchase Date not Valid" which simply means it wasn't bought from Apple directly so that's normal.
Remember Air Pods automatically register themselves to someones account when they are used on an Apple product that's signed in.

From my experience, Amazon doesn't actually report them.

Have you been told they were going to or had been reported as lost/stolen?
