Find My IPhone - Unexplained alarm?

My find my Iphone alert started playing, though none of the people who have my information said it was them. Is this a bug people encounter, or is it cause for concern?

If Find My Went Off Unexpectedly:


A. Change your Apple ID Password:

Someone may have locked it with Find My, by logging into your account. So, change your Apple ID password.


B. Don't Share your Apple ID:

Do you share your Apple ID with anyone? If so, then they may have locked it. Each person should have their own Apple ID. You can share purchases among one another using Family Sharing.
