Silicon Valley Cops Investigate Lost 4G iPhone
Charges may be pending in the case of the iPhone that was lost in a bar and then found on a blog.

Police in Silicon Valley have launched an investigation into the lost iPhone prototype that made its way in to the hands of Gizmodo, CNET reported late Friday. Law enforcement officials told the site that criminal laws may have been broken as a result of the transaction, but did not provide much more in the way of detail.

Truth or Marketing Hype?

The source is the trusted PC World magazine. I think it is true.

They got their best men on the case.

What a joke..of course it's hype for Crapple.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh that is funny!

If you buy stolen items - even if you didn't know it was stolen then you could be charged.

If anybody else had lost their phone, the cops wouldnt give a fuck.

Woz rocks! :)

and in this case the site that bought the phone printed the story behind the phone and thus must have known it was stolen

Really? That is pretty cool that they paid off the police to get then involved. That Steve Jobs is really smart. Who'd have thought that the 'convincer' for this PR puff would be the actual real po-po?

Clever.

Or maybe, some kid that was testing the prototype, got wasted on German beer and dropped the phone in a bar. And then someone found it and made 5k giving it to a tech blog. And cos doing that is illegal in Calif, the police are now investigating.
