The Apple part is simply a sideshow for me . . . if anyone thinks we live in an over-litigated society, they simply have to read your responses here. You are simply ignorant. There is no other way to put it.
At least I am making sense, and I am not comparing some smart phone to American nuclear secrets like you kept doing.
You have kept insisting that a guy that found a phone, that some Apple employee had carelessly left behind in a bar, then REPEATEDLY tried to return said phone to Apple, only for the Apple's official representatives to repeatedly refuse to accept the phone or even acknowledge that they lost any phone at all, is somehow a thief. That's ridiculous.
The only people who screwed up here are Apple by # 1, leaving their supposedly “secret” phone in some bar where anyone could examine it and see exactly what it was about, and # 2, failing to instruct their official switchboard to accept their phone back, in case the honest person that found it, called in and tried to return the phone.
No one is at fault here apart from Apple themselves.
That means he's not ignorant, he's "ignant"!
