they did not try to email via facebook or Apple they instead phoned a customer service line?! is that reasonable? not imo or that of many others.

So the journalist got his door smashed in and computers confiscated, because
you don't think the finder did reasonable effort?
It's not his job to search for owner full time, so I think it's pretty reasonable to call service desk to locate the owner of the phone. How for god sake will police know better who the phone belongs to or the bar owner, then the customer support? Situation is shady I admit, but calling it a crime.. you have to really not have a sense of proportion.
Are you really saying that anybody who ever found anything in CA and didn't turn it to police is a criminal and can be prosecuted? Is CA police is Lost and Found department filled with beach balls, cell phones and lighters?
