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

This happens to a couple in a Super Tech Support episode of Reply All I listened to years ago. I don't remember why anymore, but this is the one:

I vaguely remember. It has to due with the couple living in an area where there are very few residents, I think they are pretty much the only ones there. Due to hat and how the triangulation works their address gets pinged as the location for Fond My services.
