Scott Schuster says he isn’t sure why the app keeps leading people to his house to locate their missing electronics.

Schuster’s doorbell footage shows some of the interactions. One woman even threatened to call the police because she believed someone at the home stole her lost phone.

Schuster isn’t sure why the “Find My iPhone” app is pinging his address either. He says he’s just as upset as the people showing up at his door.“There’s plenty of irrational people in the world that if they are angry, if they’re drunk, if they have had a rough night and they lost their phone and thought it was stolen,” Schuster said. “That’s my biggest concern. Someone coming to the house potentially with a weapon.

Schuster, who happens to be a software engineer, says he has his own theories but can’t be sure as to why this is happening.“What’s your response to someone watching who said he stole the phones, and air pods, this seems convenient?” KTRK reporter Brooke Taylor asked.
