    When I was a boy I did trainspotting, but then my school was next to the Great Western line. As a kid fine, but there were grown men at the end of platforms taking down the numbers as well. So yes probably everywhere.

    A little bit more about how geofence warrants work...

    n the second step, the FBI asked Google for a list of devices that were present at the Capitol from 12 pm to 12:15 pm on January 6, and from 9 pm to 9:15 pm. As there were no rioters in the Capitol during those times, these devices likely belonged to congressional members or staff, police, and other people authorized to be there. Over 200 such phones were excluded from the initial list, reducing its total to 5,518.

    For the final step, the government sought subscriber information, including phone numbers, Google accounts, and email addresses, for two groups of users. The first was for devices that appeared to have been entirely within the geofence, to about a 70 percent probability. The second was any devices for which the Location History was deleted between January 6 and January 13.

    Not sure King Kong fits in here, given he started out as Kong.
    Then there is Lady Kong, and Baby Kong.

    btw, found this :
