I had an iPhone 4 stolen that I left at the gym that I was working at as a part time fitness instructor.

I found the location of my phone with the then new feature. I called the police. They met me at the house where the phone was located. The person who lived at the house said he didn’t take it. The police couldn’t do anything.

The catch is, the guy was telling the truth.

The next morning, I looked up the owner of the house next door where the phone now reported it was. I called the owner who said it was a rental. He asked his tenants did they steal the phone. They denied it too. They were also telling the truth. But they did tell me that their neighbor actually worked at the YMCA where I left it.

I called the manager at the YMCA and he had the person bring the phone back.

So the moral of the story is that I falsely suspected two people of stealing my phone based on its location.
