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?

That is the law a lot of places. Say you find a wallet in target and take it (and the money in it) rather than taking it to Customer Service. You could be charged with a crime if you somehow got caught.
Now that doesn't mean how this case handled was right at all, with the kicking down of the door etc. It was a clear excessive use of force etc.
