Alice can't find Bob, where could he have gone?
Ka-BOOM!
Oh, there he is.
This trope centers on finding a character by the fact that they have a tendency to cause destruction wherever they go. So if you can't find them, just look for the nearest explosion. Or, if no explosions are imminent, do as the quote above and think of the place where the most potential trouble could occur and you'll end up with much the same result.
Such characters tend to be Chaotic in nature. They may be heroes who frequently use plans that are Crazy Enough to Work, or just have the plain rotten luck to always cause collateral damage wherever they go no matter what they do to avoid it. Alternatively, you may have a Mad Scientist or Bungling Inventor whose creations always blow up, letting you know if they're in their lab or not. At best, they're simply inclined or compelled to find the chaos themselves. A danger zone may also be indicated by a Foreboding Fleeing Flock.
The intent behind this trope is that the chaos they cause will give you an almost immediate idea of where to locate them. Finding a site of destruction and knowing that they've been there is a separate idea which involves a more protracted hunt.

World of Warcraft:
A quest chain in the Western Plaguelands has you helping to train a new druid. When you speak to the quest giver for the second quest in the chain, she mentions that the student's spells were so out of control she not only could see them from where she was, but she was using them as a marker to track your progress. To illustrate: said student was so incompetent that in moonkin form, he was spamming Moonfire on himself.
Shadowlands
You regularly infiltrate the tower of Torghast in order to locate powerful items as well as powerful allies. In one instance, you're traveling through the tower to rescue Jaina Proudmoore, a master of ice magic who has been struggling against her captors almost non-stop. As you near her location, you start seeing walls of ice scattered around the scenery, demonstrating how much she's been fighting.
Early in the Ardenweald campaign, you're sent to locate Tyrande Whisperwind from the Maw, the Warcraft universe's Fire and Brimstone Hell. Upon doing so you locate several corpses that your companion, Shandris Feathermoon, recognizes as Tyrande's handiwork. She outright says that the path of carnage created from the corpses will lead you to her.

Subverted in Relativity, when the main characters are trying to locate a serial bomber. First they hear an explosion, but aren't certain which direction the sound came from, so they decide to look for smoke from the resulting fire, but there isn't any. They end up waiting until they hear the sirens of emergency vehicles and then follow those.

One Piece:
When Luffy rushes away from the group in Alabasta, Sanji figures that they can find him by looking for the noisiest part of town.
During the Enies Lobby arc, the crew is trying to locate Luffy, who charged in ahead of them. When a building nowhere near them suddenly starts to collapse, they know exactly which direction to head in.
Later, Smoker tries to use this technique to catch Luffy when the Straw Hat Pirates enter the New World, figuring that it's in Luffy's nature to go to the most dangerous of the three islands on the Log Pose. He fails to anticipate that Luffy will do something even crazier, and go to an island that's not on the Log Pose
In Totto Land, Luffy and Chopper run off and get lost in a Level Ate city made of chocolate. Nami doesn't panic, as she knows that all they have to do is wait for a commotion to start. Cue some guy screaming about a building being eaten. Sure enough, Luffy and Chopper are there.

Early on in El Goonish Shive, Elliot visits Tedd's house, and Tedd's dad answers the door. When Elliot asks where Tedd is, Mr. Verres admits that he's not entirely sure, and lists a number of possibilities. An explosion and scream follows. "Basement it is, then."

Judge Dredd: Whenever the Dark Judges show up in Mega City One, Justice Department tends to find them rather easy to track down on account of the number of corpses they leave behind them. As Batman put it in one crossover, "Just follow the trail of death".

Doctor Who:
The Seventh Doctor had a companion named Ace who was fond of incendiaries. Upon being captured, a large explosion rocked the building the villain had him in. "That sounds like my friend Ace. It has all of her subtle undertones."
This is one reliable method of finding the Doctor in a hurry, as Martha points out in "The Lazarus Experiment".
Donna Noble eventually tracks down the Doctor by following strange and bizarre occurrences, figuring the Doctor will inevitably become involved. She's proven right in "Partners in Crime".
While tracking down River Song in "Let's Kill Hitler", Rory and Amy argue about what possible clues they could use to find her when a crowd of panicked people come running out of a restaurant, all in various states of undress.
When asked how a character will locate the Doctor in "The Crimson Horror":
Incidentally, the Doctor is found very quickly with this method.

In Sourcery, minor character Nijel is once described as the kind of person who, if he was lost in a trackless desert, could be located by leaving out some valuable old heirloom and then hurrying back as soon as you heard it smash.

Done literally in Justice League Heroes. Toward the end of the game, Darkseid invades Earth and starts trying to turn it into Apokalips. Superman, naturally, gets pissed off, and the next level is you, playing as one of the other members of the Justice League, following him as he stomps his way through a ruined Metropolis.

Most of Megatokyo's cast falls under this. However with all the random property destruction going around by monsters of the day it could count as a subversion too.
Played straight, lampshaded and invoked with Largo. Dom and Ed try to find where he's living by showing around his picture, sure that someone will recoil in horror at the sight. Lately Erika is trying to make him tone down t3h d3struct10n a bit however.

In Stargate Atlantis, Beckett and Ford have to find Sheppard among a mess of Genii soldiers occupying Atlantis, but the life-signs detector doesn't distinguish between humans. Ford confidently states that the dot representing Sheppard will be the one causing other dots to vanish.

Firefly fanfic Prodigal: After dealing with a bunch of drama with Jayne's semi-estranged family on top of the fallout from the events of The Big Damn Movie (or at least this story's version of them) both Jayne and River are nowhere to be found and Simon is becoming increasingly worried. Kaylee reassures him that if anything had happened to River then the local news would be full of reports of "gunfire an' explosions an' car chases" because there's no way in hell Jayne would let his new girlfriend get kidnapped without raising several kinds of hell. Instead, she's able to pinpoint exactly what Jayne (and probably River) were up to last night because there was a truly massive Bar Brawl, and Jayne's got an extensive history of starting those whenever he's in a bad mood and needs to blow off some steam. It's a testimony to the amount of character development (or possibly desensitisation) he's gone through up to this point that Simon accepts this without much comment.

Similarly, in Saints Row IV, Kinzie is about to offer directions on where to locate a friend in need of rescue only for the boss to tell her he's simply following the trail of dead bodies.

If you fell behind and lost track of your teammates in City of Heroes, all you had to do to was follow the sounds of explosions, gunfire, and Kinetic Melee.
