Apple Loses Another 4th-Gen iPhone

An anonymous reader noted that Apple appears to have lost another of its 4th generation iPhones. This doesn't seem like the most efficient distribution mechanism, Steve. Wonder if the SWAT team will get called in.

The phone wasn't lost, it was just stuffed up someone's ass and they didn't want to admit it.

Weren't they worried about the greased Yoda doll scratching the lovely oleophobic touch screen?

*Very* careless employees, perhaps bragging that they have the new 4g (perhaps while intoxicated). Then leaving them behind, or not noticing that the phone disappeared 2 minutes after they bragged about it.

I suppose it's possible, but I have a hard time believing this personally. Maybe not everyone is like this, but regardless of what mental state I'm in, I always am very careful about checking what exactly is in my pockets frequently. Even small weight differences will set off internal alarms when items which ought to be in the pockets are not there. I suppose I'm just OCD about it, but I will not leave a location without double checking that all items on my person are where they belong.

It's called a lien sale. You have to fill out some forms, offer to return it to the owner for a fee, and then offer it for public auction. If the owner doesn't want it and nobody bids on it at the auction, you get the right to retitle it.

This doesn't apply to junked or salvage vehicles, that's usually easier, and may vary depending on your region. Not a lawyer, yadda yadda.

What especially bothers me is when I purposefully don't have my keys for some reason. It will bother me the entire day as I keep rediscovering I don't have my keys. :(
