Dude - it's stolen property, plain and simple.
Can you think of a jurisdiction where that's not illegal? Lol.
The kid either stole it, or he somehow knowingly came into possession of stolen property.
Just because you find something, doesn't make it yours.
The right thing to do, when you find something that is obviously stolen (and there is no way an NDA phone would not be) is to return it.
Stealing something is illegal, and buying something that's stolen is also illegal.
It's like Gawker, and the whole stolen iPhone fiasco.
Much as I detest Apple, Gawker were definitely in the wrong there.
And this kid didn't help things by trying to lie again, and again, and again afterwards.
Just say, whoops, I "didn't" know it was stolen, and hand it back - no harm, no foul.
Trying to weasel your way out so you can keep your stolen shiny bauble isn't cool.
- pbhjpbhj 13y ago>buying something that's stolen is also illegal // Usually that's limited to "if you know it, [or should reasonably suspect it] to be stolen". I can imagine many scenarios in which he used the phone in the video without it being stolen, and more in which it was stolen and he wasn't aware of that. "Hey my Dad found this phone left at his work, he's taking it to the Police Station in the morning; do you want to have a look at it?" "I won this phone in a game of poker, want to buy it?" However, I thought you were claiming it was illegal to make the video.
