GeoLocation App: Find My Friends

I LOVE this app. I use it on my iPhone and iPad. Recently, it came in very handy. A friend of mine (who i'm connected to in the "Find My Friends" app) traveled to Las Vegas to meet her parents for Thanksgiving. She was to call her family when she landed so they could meet and proceed with plans. My friend went to baggage claim and realized that her iPhone was gone..Someone had stolen it. She called me from a payphone and asked me to locate and track her phone using the "Find My Friends" application. I located the phone in the airport and directed her to the approximate area. She spotted a member of the maintenance crew and asked them if someone had reported finding an iphone. Much to her surprise, that person has just been given an iphone to take to lost and found. Apparently, a child, thinking he was next to his mom, grabbed the phone from my friends pocket and walked away. The mom realized the mistake the child had made and immediately took the phone to the nearest airport employee. My friend collected her device and issued a big hug of thanks.
