There was a case a block or two away from me where the person made the phone ring while the cop was there, which made it reasonable for the cops to enter and conduct a limited search. It was a sort of a clearing house for fenced electronics, if I remember correctly. So it depends a lot on the circumstances. If the phone had been off, I bet it would have turned out differently - though if you had a pic of the guy and the GPS said it was there an hour ago... maybe.
