Apple lost it, wouldn't accept it back (I admit the difficulties in getting it back, but that's not the guy's fault), Giz pays the guy some money and then examines and reviews the phone before giving it back. If Giz had never given it back then they'd have a point.

He could have given it to the bartender, he could have left his name and phone number with the bar so the person that lost it could contact him. The vast majority of the population would have done exactly this. He could have filed a report with the police, he could have walked into the Apple headquarters (which I understand was really close by) and given it to them or given it to an Apple store. He took pretty much the most useless path to give it back. When he phoned they asked for pictures of it (encase it was just a Chinese knockoff) and he didn't even send any. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy did that on purpose so he could get around the selling stolen property law (if he does).
