Safe Geo-location Defaults

I'd agree with that wholly. I've had a drunk couple show up at my place years back insisting I had her phone. Once the guy tried to push through the door he got the business end of good ole Louie and a cute little breaking and entering sentence at a vacation destination known as lockup 🤪

With enough said if this was a business location or courthouse it may have saved them a little gas and time getting there, and myself not having to wake up so damn late.

Knock on the person which happens to live near the default centroid, and acuse them of stealing their <device> because "Find My <device>" showed that location.
