Find My iPhone is a service designed by Apple that allows iDevice owners to find their lost terminal using its GPS function. A baseball referee woke up one day without his iPhone terminal and decided to use the Find My iPhone service to recover his lost phone. He used his son's iPhone to find the location iPhone allegedly stolen from a personal car and based on the information provided by Find My iPhone beat an innocent young man. Our referee went to the location indicated by Find My iPhone where he saw a young man talking on an iPhone and believing that that terminal was actually the alleged stolen device, he beat him up.
Police said that Johnson tried to walk away, but Ippolito grabbed his shirt, pulled the younger man to the ground and punched his head and body. Johnson's chin was cut.
Ippolito later learned that he had inadvertently left his cell phone in the snack shack at the baseball field, where he had been umpiring a youth baseball game, police said, and it was still there. Patrolman Vince Albani investigated.
The interesting part is that the iPhone is actually in a completely different part, in a location where the referee had eaten after refereeing a match and had forgotten his device. Everything ended with a complaint to the police and probably a rather stinging fine, but with an iPhone found. Now it is curious why Find My iPhone displayed a completely different address for the lost terminal considering that the distance between the place where the device is located and the place where the altercation took place is quite large. Until now, the service has been successfully used by victims who have recovered their stolen devices, but there are also cases when things take an unusual turn.
