Reminds me of Pokemon GO. Folks were kicking in private property to capture a Pokemon. The app was throwing Pokemon into private properties because the app design was flawed.

We had that happen to us. Apparently there were Pokémon all over our property. Called the cops on a suspicious group of kids trespassing up near our garage. Several other neighbors said they were cruising by and getting in and out of their car. We thought maybe they were casing places.

Cops finally caught up with them. They were playing Pokémon Go. The cops told them about trespassing and being respectful of property. The kids were very apologetic.

There was also a family who sued an internet mapping company because the company managed to place over 600 million IP addresses at their family home in Kansas. Law Enforcement agencies showing up at all hours of the day for year.
