"...cops couldn’t find his house on account of it having no GPS address or electricity."

Of course the house has GPS coordinates. What is a GPS address? What does having electricity have to do with locating the house?

“What is a GPS address? “

I think mine’s a P.O. box. ;<)

Ever hear of Google Earth?

Ever hear of GIS mapping?

And the police not being able to find the address does happen. He may not have had a mailbox by the road or had numbers displayed on the house.

The guy sounds like one of these anti-”smart meter” nutcases.

These days your electric meter has a GPS address, they started doing that a few years ago when they started installing smart meters.

the electric companies have all installed smart meters with tracking and gps. They tell LEO where the house it, and what is going on inside by their use of juice.

His address was on the property tax rolls. I tried to find it on google maps but google didn’t have the street. What’s weird, the property tax had a yahoo map icon link. I have never seen such. Yahoo, surprise!, was down due to technical difficulties. Yeah, just a coinky dink.

Doubt any of these maps would have had any trouble finding him at the time the neighbor reported him from her or a dozen other sources online or by phone call to local agencies.

I'm going to guess that it means they had no address they could feed into their cop-car GPS, and so decided to blow it off.
