  You neglect to mention the part where the person who found it sold it rather than try to return it. Should that not be a crime?

    selling abandoned property you found ? no thats not a crime. If this is such a serious "crime" , why wasn't Gizmodo charged for possession of stolen property ? You know what's a crime ? The fact that Apple has expedient access to the police when they negligently lose a $400 phone at a bar, instead of being told to "fill out a missing property report online" like everyone else when they call to report something missing or "stolen".

      > selling abandoned property you found ? no thats not a crime. Is that true? I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure you have to own something in order to sell it legally... and I don't think you get to claim ownership of every "abandoned" item you "find".

      If it wasn't a crime, there wouldn't have been a conviction. And getting the police to act on information you provide yourself is not the same as filling in a report online asking the police to find your missing phone.

    You neglect to mention the part where the person who found it actually tried to return it. http://gizmodo.com/5520438/how-apple-lost-the-next-iphone http://gizmodo.com/5520438/how-apple-lost-the-next-iphone
