How does Apple make this happen after the phone was returned? Especially so fast.

Try this.. Next time you lose your phone see if you can get a frigging task force whose mission statement reads:

"To reduce the incidence of high technology crime through the apprehension of the professional organizers of large scale criminal activities."

To raid the house of the people who returned it to you. Or better yet to find the damned thing.

He seems to have known what it was when he bought it ~ $5 beans for a Ipod is real change Fur Shur.

Then, he opened it up, photographed the copyrighted material, the design, etc.

There was both knowledge and intent. Apple is a big company. They will crush him like a seedless dessert grape!

You were saying ...

Try this.. Next time you lose your phone see if you can get a frigging task force whose mission statement reads: ...

Ummmm..., add to that ... and write a big article in some nationally read site that outlines and details the crime you've committed and act like you can get away with it ... LOL ...

That usually gets the attention of authorities real quick ... doncha know ... :-)
