Left AirPods at airport, how do I make sure no one can use them?

They are not showing up on Find My, and put them in lost mode. Does that mean someone has found them and is using them?

Lost Mode

"The Lost Mode in Find My tells a device it is missing and can notify the owner when it is located. From the AirPods Find My menu, select "Activate" beneath "Mark As Lost." This initiates the Lost Mode system for the AirPods.

Since AirPods cannot connect to the internet on their own, Lost Mode doesn't do anything until the AirPods connect to a new online device. Stolen, lost, or otherwise, the next time your AirPods connect to an Apple product, a message will appear, and the owner is notified with an updated location."
