The story in the link goes on to talk about how smart phones can be located via their GPS software. Unfortunately, it can go wrong, as this story shows: Police-break-into-wrong-house.

The police say that it is not their fault as they broke in in good faith but an innocent man now faces a bill to repair his front door because technology is not as good as people think it is.
