FindMy is not perfect.


First it must be setup properly beforehand.


Then your device must either be “on” a network, or “seen” by another device that is. (which itself must be appropriately configured as well)


Lastly, it must be powered.


If a phone is stolen; the thieves can interrupt FindMy in any number of ways.
