Update: This Nevada man doesn't have your lost cellphone
Computerworld - A resident of North Las Vegas, Nev., says owners of lost cell phones have repeatedly shown up at his house incorrectly demanding phones that they tracked via software to his location.
Wayne Dobson, a 59-year-old retiree, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he's been awakened at night by people looking for their cell phones and has trouble explaining that he doesn't have them.
He has even posted a sign near his front door saying "No Lost Cell Phones!"
The problem involves the location -tracking software included with most cell phones that take advantage of both GPS tracking and triangulation between nearby cell towers.
Cell phone owners believe lost devices are at his home, apparently due to inexact Sprint location tracking tools
