The tech-news site CNET reported earlier this week that an unreleased iPhone 5 had been lost in the Mission district restaurant Cava 22. The incident echoed the earlier loss of the iPhone 4 prototype last year, which led to a scandal as Apple and law-enforcement sought to recover the phone from the gadget blog Gizmodo, which purchased it for $5,000 from men who found it.

Thank you for the link.
I have to wonder why Apple employees keep taking extremely valuable prototype phones to restaurants and "losing" them. In my industry experience, it's extremely rare to take a prototype in the field, and certainly not without some kind of GPS/tracking device attached to it (with which they could get a proper warrant to recover it and not, say, impersonate police officers and search peoples' homes), and this is the second time this has happened?
Truth is stranger than fiction, but when this same thing happens to the iPhone 6, I'm going to call publicity stunt.
