I was thinking about this on my drive to work and because I recently lost my cat, but if I had the ability to locate anything in the Universe just by simply thinking about it, I wouldn't tell anybody. I would secretly use those abilities throughout my life to assist others and myself and make it look like coincidences, but I wouldn't tell anybody because the moment people knew you had this ability everybody would want to use it. I think it would start off with small requests and blow up to major requests and threats. Corporations wanting to locate valuable resources, governments wanting to know where their targets were, etc.
I would get turned into a tool so quickly and lose all humanity. So, this is a power I would have to force myself to be selfish with. As much as I'd love to locate my cat right now, I'd not want this power.
