Soooo apparently this guys phone was stolen and his find my phone pinged to my house. So two cops come to my door. I obvs don’t have it but offered to help etc. I checked my front and bakc yards in case someone chucked it. Then a few mins later the guys watch pings to the house next door instead, which is absolutely wrong as well. The guy was very nice and showed me tthe tracker on his watch, it had my exact address as location. Has this happened to anyone else?? Wtf

Find my never has the address 100% right when I leave stuff at work (sometimes I leave my keys/airpods at my desk while I run downstairs for lunch of just pick up a snack). It also sometimes takes a while to update. In this case it could’ve been the person who has it stopped near your house before turning it off. Location pinged off your Apple device, shows the guy it was last at your address.
