Why should he be nailed for anything.

He FOUND it.

There was no legal, perhaps an ethical, obligation to return it.

What crime was committed?

You were saying ...

He FOUND it.

No, actually he didn't find it... he bought it from someone who found it ... you see... :-)

Ummmm.., no..., there was a legal requirement for him to return it, when asked to return it. And he did. That wasn't the problem, though.

What crime was committed?

It wasn't legal for him to buy that property... :-)

And yet they can't find a single illegal alien to harass.

"Why should he be nailed for anything."

"He FOUND it."

"There was no legal, perhaps an ethical, obligation to return it."

"What crime was committed?"

Is total lack of reading comprehension a prerequisite condition for being an Apple basher, or does simple ignorance and immaturity suffice?

From the original FR article:

"Editors at Gizmodo.com, part of Gawker Media's blog network, said in an article posted Monday that they paid $5,000 for what they believed to be a prototype of an impending iPhone 4G. The story said the phone was accidentally left at a bar in Redwood City, Calif., last month by an Apple software engineer and found by someone who contacted Gizmodo, which had previously indicated it was willing to pay significant sums for unreleased Apple products."
