Imagine losing your phone (or having it stolen, nobody’s entirely sure) but you’ve got the location thing on so you can check from your computer where the phone is when it’s turned on. You try to map out where the fuck it is, but it’s been wandering around in places that don’t have maps and people shouldn’t access. It turns out that no matter who stole it, a fucking raccoon has it now, and you’re pretty much run out of battery. You need this phone so you try to fervently figure out how the fuck you’re going to get it back.
Okay, it hasn’t been moving in a raccoon-like fashion for a while, so you’re pretty sure that it’s not being carried around by the raccoon anymore.
