A couple of spacecraft the size of an automobile drifting aimlessly in our galaxy,
where they won't come within more than a few light years of any star for the
next half a million years or so.
If they are found, it won't take much for an interstellar species (about the
only kind that could ever find the probes) to figure out what direction they
came from, even without help from us.
More than likely they will be found by our descendants, the only ones who may
have any idea they are out there.
Don't worry about New Horizon, though. The team that worked on it couldn't be
bothered to put anything of importance on that probe akin to the Voyager Records
or Pioneer Plaques. Speaks volumes about our time, though.
Space isn't as small as it seems in Star Wars and Star Trek.

You know what the odds are of them ever being found?
