Hidden iPhone Trick: Auto-Email Its Location the Moment It's Plugged In

A little-known iPhone trick via Shortcuts: set an automation triggered when the charger connects — turn on cellular data, get current location with Precision set to Best, pull readable address/coordinates, then send it to your own email with 'Show Compose Sheet' off so it sends silently. The author admits it won't stop a thief who powers the phone off, but combined with Find My it gives you a location the moment the phone is plugged in. Set it up before you ever need it.
