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

I know there’s a scam that goes around where the phone the person is looking for will actually be on them (so Find My says it’s “at your house”), they just want to case the house for valuables for a break in later. I wouldn’t trust it at all.

Are they delivering St Anky beer?

Could easily be fake cops.
