It doesn’t work like that even with the more reliable Find My iphone based on GPS. My iPhone 4 (circa 2011) was stolen from a gym. Find My showed it was at a persons house. I went to the house with police and the person said he didn’t know anything about it. The police said they couldn’t do anything. The guy wasn’t lying. I then went home, and saw that it was at another house nearby the first place I looked. I found the owner of the house on the internet. I called this time and the guy said the house was a rental. He asked the tenants and they said they didn’t take it. They were also telling the truth. But they did tell me that their neighbor worked at the same gym I had lost it at. I was a part time fitness instructor there. I asked the manager and the manager told the guy to bring the phone back. He did. That was in 2011. These days, I wouldn’t even take my phone with me to the gym. I just use my cellular watch to listen to music. I think Find My is basically useless for a stolen device. It’s more useful for a lost device to help you pinpoint where you left it. I definitely wouldn’t confront anyone about it. It’s not worth the risk in todays world. Then again, I also have both AirPods Pro and a pair of $60 Beats Flex that last 12 hours, have the original Apple wireless chip and I don’t care if they get lost. As far as my iPhone, I have lost/damage insurance up to $800 on my Amex just by paying the monthly cell phone bill on it.
