Florida man ‘attached an iPhone to a robbery victim’s car before using its location settings to track him down and steal more luxury goods’ . . . Herlong is accused of later activating the ‘Find my iPhone’ app to trace the vehicle to a home and rob the shopper. During the burglary, however, another person inside the home was fatally shot.
