How could he find a prototype. :P
Stole???

no, more than likely the holder was careless with it.

Owner was a software engineer at Apple. Left it at the bar, someone found it, sold it to Gizmodo editor, police raid said editor's home, invalid search warrant, /end

I actually heard alot about this O:

I would regret it also, thats one rare piece of equipment.

I'm sure the additional $5,000 in his wallet feels quite nice.

True, but why wouldnt he get charged or anything?

From what I heard he didnt notify the bar employees and went home carrying it.
And when the owner went back the bar had no knowledge of the whereabouts.
