That must be a joke. The dude did NOTHING to try to return the item to the owner and shopped around to see who would pay more for it.
Facts:
- He knew where it was lost. Did he turn it over to the L&F at the bar??
- He knew who the owner was. In fact, he (allegedly) had access to all of his info. Even had access to his Facebook account. Did he tried to contact the owner?? Did he even tried sending a quick message to the Facebook account?? NO.
- The manufacturer of a phone is not the owner of the phone. If I find a phone made by Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Erickson, Palm, BB, etc .... why the hell would I call the manufacturer's tech support center to return it???
The fact is, he did nothing to try to return the item to the owner. Instead, he went around looking for a way to make money out of it. He tried to sell the (now legally considered) stolen item to 5 different media shops before he found an idiot to give him money for it.
All he had to do was turn over the phone to the bartender. After that, it would had been the problem of the bar to return it to the owner. But instead, he wanted to make money out of the property of another person. Now he must live with the consequences.
