Police report shows they really hate Find My iPhone
The reason Fond my iPhone was created is so people can locate their phone if they forget it somewhere. If it’s somewhere where a person would steal it, you can erase all of your data (contact info, photos and history) and maybe even track it down. You’d think that if you had your iPhone stolen, you could go to the police station and ask the police officers to track your iPhone down using Find my iPhone, but they would probably give you a dirty look and send you on your way.
