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

If his wifi is turned off (even when there’s no wifi connected) it can really throw off the location, I had my wifi turned off the other day at work (there’s no staff wifi and I always use my data but have wifi turned on despite it not being connected so I don’t have to turn it on when I get home) and when booking an Uber home it initially put my location at a 10 minute walk away from where I was, then after I’d booked without noticing it put my location at the right place and I had to cancel it because it was too far away to move the pickup location
