No one took Apple's smartphone and used it to shot anyone with it or used it to bash anyone over the haed with it.
Selling something that does not belong to you is illegal behavior*, much like shooting someone with a gun that was negligently left behind by someone else. And it doesn't matter if the cops failed to exercise a search warrant during regular business hours, or how much you hate Smith & Wesson.

And that is what a court must determine one way or the other--and I will remind you again, claiming that you called a 1-800 number is not an affirmative defense.

Not even close.
Shooting somebody at random is a crime, whether it's your gun or someone else gun. The ownership of the gun has nothing to do with whether it's a crime or not. The one who pulled the trigger is committing a crime even if he has a license to the gun.
Selling a phone you own is not a crime(unlike shooting someone with a gun you own). Selling a phone you found after some guy had left it behind, when your attempts to return the phone to the presumed owner, have been repeatedly rejected by the presumed owner, who continued to insist he never lost any phone in the first place, is a totally different matter.
You really crack me up. You first of all compare some phone to America's nuclear secrets, then you graduate on to comparing this me-too phone to America's Abrams tanks, now you say its like someone shooting someone else in the head?
Say, do you have violent dreams when you go to bed at night?
