I've lived on the same 200 acres for 22 years...remote, rustic...you cannot GPS me (find me) even if I give you the state, county, and mailing address...G-maps has roads and features mislabeled all around me...at one point part of the land I live on was labeled "Public Use", meaning open to hunters...that's the only thing I ever bothered to get changed...I sort of like things the way they are...

My point is, anything is possible...tech (especially apps) is still very new, despite what we think we coders think we've accomplished...

Would like to know how long they've lived in that house...don't think the article provided that info...

Spoofed IP > wifi network improperly linked, or worse, aggregated > lying in a database somewhere as a reference point...just a possibility...
