It was abandoned property. Anyone could have photographed it when it was left at the bar, and posted it online at some site in in the US or even in Russia or China, and there is nothing Apple could have done about it. The moment you abandon it, and refuse to accept it back, anyone can do whatever the heck they want with it.
