Weird location for AirPods on find my device?!?

Just had something weird happen and wonder if anyone could explain this, I will try to keep this brief. I have AirPods, first release, and I lost them the other day, I had them on my find my device app on my iPhone, so when I looked for my AirPods on my find my device app, it showed a location, about 8 miles from where I am staying, that I had never driven through or visited, I had visited a store about a mile and a half from the location it was showing on my app, and driven past the neighborhood on a main road, about a 1/2 mile from the location showing on the app. But was never at the exact location, which showed a persons residence. so I knocked on the door, and the houses on both sides, no one had my AirPods, came back to where I was staying and found my AirPods behind the nightstand, eight miles from the location showing on the find my device app, now I understand the app only shows the last location the AirPods where used/opened, but I never was in that neighborhood, wonder if anyone ever had a similar experience?

Thanks in advance
