His legal obligation was to return it to the bartender, but calling Apple to return it is hardly "unreasonable."

  Given that the people he spoke to wouldn't even be aware of the existence of the lost prototype, I don't think you could call that an honest attempt to return the phone at all. Even sending an email to sjobs@apple.com would've been more likely to get the phone back to Apple.

    You're right, sjobs@ would have been better, but whoever received the call at Apple and didn't route it to the right people (or whoever ignored it for a week) seriously let the company down.

      Do we know what the guy that called Apple actually said? Just imagine if I called Google and told them I had a lost Nexus One.

        Exactly. Apple tech support isn't a lost and found. They have no training or directive to reunite lost phones with their owners.

          Sure, but staff in any part of the company should have initiative and do the right thing whether in their job description or not.

  His legal obligation in California is to turn it into the police, where it will be kept every bit as confidential as a Mel Gibson drunken tirade.
