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".
- dloose 10y ago> 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".
- tinus_hn 10y agoIf 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.
