Claim 7:
8. A system for locating a tracking device, comprising:
a hardware processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the system to perform steps comprising:
determining, by a system, that the system crossed from inside a geographic boundary associated with a location to outside the geographic boundary;
in response to 1) crossing the geographic boundary and to 2) determining that the system is not communicatively coupled to the tracking device, querying, by the system, a tracking server configured to identify one or more devices currently located within the geographic boundary and query the identified one or more devices to determine if any of the one or more devices are currently communicatively coupled with the tracking device; and
in response to receiving an indication from the tracking server that one of the queried devices is currently communicatively coupled to the tracking device, displaying, by the system, a notification 1) indicating that the tracking device was left at the location, 2) indicating a location within the geographic boundary that the at least one queried device to which the tracking device is communicatively coupled is located, and 3) including text indicating a reason why the tracking device is thought to be left behind.
