Police who wrongly raided and ransacked an elderly woman’s home looking for a stolen truck and guns with Apple’s Find My have cost the city of Denver $3.76 million in compensation and damages.
Denver police seeking to recover a stolen truck loaded with guns, ammo, and cash back in January of 2022 used Apple’s Find My technology on another iPhone to locate the vehicle, but picked the wrong house out of a fairly wide area to storm in an effort to catch the thieves.

As a result, 78-year-old grandmother Ruby Johnson has received a sizable award from the jury in the resulting lawsuit.
The city will be paying the $3.76M award even though the defendant officers — Detective Gary Staab and Sgt. Gregory Buschy — were sued as individuals. Denver police had previously cleared both men of any wrongdoing, but the jury disagreed.
