There are definitely gray areas here. I don't buy the argument that the DA or police started the criminal investigation and Apple had nothing to do with it. I doubt the DA saw it as criminal until consulting with Apple.
If the felony it is simply receipt/purchase of the lost item, then why confiscate the computers? There is already evidence and admission to having done that without that. Is it a felony to publish details about said item? I think the computer snatch is evidence of Apple's paranoia and thier hand in the investigation. I have not verified, but read on twitter and an article comment that Apple has influence over the task force that did the home invasion. -Matt W >Ah, it has been returned, as soon as Apple asked for it.
