On the other hand, no one leaves a cell phone sitting around a bar unattended intentionally, planning on coming back to retrieve it. Something like that is clearly lost, and people routinely pick up lost items and attempt to return them to the owners, as this guy clearly did when he called Apple. And given that most people here doubted that the phone was a genuine Apple prototype until confirmed by Apple, I don’t know how everyone can now impute absolute knowledge as to the genuineness on this guy.
Because Gizmodo told us everything there is to know about Gray Powell but nothing about the guy that found it. If he was genuine, we would know more about him by now.
