That's insufficient action. What if it didn't belong to Apple in the first place? It still needed to be turned in to the authorities to be claimed (or not). | Do you think police are going to care about a lost phone. Should I call the police every time someone leave a phone at our gas station? What about gas caps, sunglasses, or socks?
Did Apple try calling the phone?

I lost my bball shoes at a gym once, they were in the lost and found box, not the police station.
Edit: I found the law, and holy crap I cannot see this being enforced: http://www.animallaw.info/statutes/s..._2080_2082.htm
By law, my gym would have to turn my bball sneakers over to the cops since they are valued > $100. I'll remember this next time I forget them, cause they are getting sued for just leaving them in the lost and found!

And 68 is right. AT THE VERY LEAST they shouldn't have taken it home or even looked at it, but turn it in at the bar's lost and found, so the owner could claim it when he realized he lost it.

The funny thing (or not so funny thing) is that if the Apple employee lost this phone in China, he would probably be dead by now. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10291701-37.html

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. | |

The phone was bricked not long after the developer realized it was gone; apple bricked it remotely.

Apple's gonna lose millions with the leak. Being able to control how, when, and what to announce during a product launch is much better than having Gizmodo doing it for them.

Some kid working at the bar would've just kept it. And this whole scenerio would've played out again.

I predict apple is going to win, a fortune 500 legal team is formidable compared to gawker media. Gizmodo must know it was stolen to pay $5000 for it which will make the shield law void. Hope the 2 million views was worth it!

NO ONE READ THE STORY? WTF.
The engineer from APPLE LOST IT AT THE BAR on his birthday party after DRUNK.
The guy who found it was trying to return to the engineer but the prototype was REMOTELY KILLED next morning. He CALLED APPLE trying to return, no one believed him.
He then told Gizmodo and Gizmodo bought it. They thought it was fake, but after a week playing with it, Jason (Gizmodo Editor) believed it was real. He documented/photo it and then he CONTACTED APPLE about the phone and ask if that's they are missing a prototype. Gizmodo told Apple if that's indeed their prototype, please send a formal letter to request it back and they will love to give it back.
APPLE was behind one of the company that helped police search the apartment.
If Jason is guilty, he is guilty of depriving Steve's fun of unveiling the new iPhone. BS.
I better don't say too much about Apple, or they will break into my house too.

Why would Apples lawyers be involved in a criminal case?
