Finding Stolen iPad pinged location

Last night an iPad of mine that hasn’t been turned on in months showed up on the other side of town. I definitely haven’t charged that. Woah! This is a lead, maybe I can recover more of my things! But it was already a couple of hours past bed time and driving there would have kept me up at least another hour and the find my phone location gets you close but not close enough. So, I let the cops know and went to sleep. They just called me back about it. I checked on find my phone again and it’s dead, last location approximately the same area on that road but now a slightly different address. The cop on the phone made a note but was so dismissive. I tried to tell him the name of the guy that was later caught driving my van and he was like ‘that’s all circumstantial’. Well yes, it is. Isn’t that why it’s relevant? He is caught driving my van and then my iPad shows up at the house three doors down from his best mates? The iPad location by itself is no help, if it points you near someone connected with him isn’t that suspicious as hell? Anyway, I’m solidly disappointed it went flat. And it’s extra annoying because I had accepted all my equipment was gone. for a brief window here was some hope I could recover it. a live device, and it’s knocked my acceptance back. #stolenipad, #ipad #findipad
