Let's not be silly or intentionally inaccurate when describing what another poster wrote. I never said that Apple Corp. should not do any product testing and you know I didn't. Apple WAS doing product testing in that very bar full of geeks who always check out what everybody else is using. The phone was intentionally left laying around, begging to be taken, because Apple Corp. was trying to find out how enticing their product was to jealous and inquisitive potential thieves. Apple Corp. was getting to be a bit apprehensive about whether or not their phone was the coolest and most sought after such device in the entire world these days. After all, they are getting some decent competition lately from other makers, and Apple's worry meter was beginning to deflect in the wrong direction according to their marketing department. Apple Corp. also wanted to test the effectiveness and threat level impact that the Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team would have on citizens who would dare to breach the inviolate sanctity of the Steve Jobs Aura Emissions Sphere of Marketing Efficacy and Behavioral Attitude Adjustment Scheme of the Holy Black Turtle Neck Sweater Brigade. Cops usually do not smash down doors that will cost them more to replace than the item in question is worth, especially when said item had already been returned to its rightful owner. See Jon Stewart for more on this.
