Fandom Lawyers

Okay guys! I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, so please go easy on me! ;D

Here's the story: Man accidentally leaves his iPhone in a bar, where it is stolen within five minutes. He uses the new "Find My iPhone" feature to track it down and get it back.

The comments are full of Internet Lawyers, people telling him how risky that was (agreed), and debates on the competency of Chicago cops.

However, my favorite was a now-deleted** anonymous reply to my comment:

Stealing? The dumbass LEFT* it at the bar (or did you miss the "Whoops!"?). Finders keepers! Though really the kid should've turned it into the manager and waited 24 hours.

*And yet he talks about it as if it were a baby. iPhones =/= babies, and you would not leave your baby at a restaurant/bar without anyone noticing.

All name-calling aside, grade-school rhymes are not exactly common law. I'd love to see what happens if this guy were to try explaining his interpretation to a judge.

**I can screencap this in my GMail if anyone really wants it
