Well , how can I explicate this ? I got some interesting calls today . It was Apple . And they wanted their phone back .

This phone was lose , and then detect . But from Apple ’s perspective , it could have been considered stolen . I tell them , all they have to do to get it back is to claim it — on phonograph record . This formal request from Apple ’s legal department is that claim . It proves — if there was any uncertainty in your head — that this affair is real .

Here ’s my reply :

Happy to have you plunk this matter up . Was burn a hole in our pocket . Just so you have sex , we did n’t bang this was stolen [ as they might have claim . substance , real and unfeignedly from Apple . It was ascertain , and to be of unproved parentage ] when we bought it . Now that we in spades know it ’s not some knockoff , and it really is Apple ’s , I ’m happy to see it render to its true owner .

P.S. I hope you take it tardily on the kid who lost it . I do n’t think he loves anything more than Apple .

And since this was the only missing spell of the mystifier , we have now both extinguished any dubiousness of its source but also , we get to give the headphone back . * warm , fuzzy , huggy feelings of legal compliance *

( Our legal squad say us that in California the legal philosophy state , “ If it is fall back , the owner has three years to reclaim or rubric passes to the owner of the premises where the property was discover . The person who found it had the duty to account it . ” Which , in reality , the cat who incur it judge to do , but were passably much dismiss by Apple . )

I ’m sad to see it go . We reasoned this pretty little piece of hardware is believably something we ’ll see again some meter soon , but who knows exactly when . For some of us , that date ca n’t amount soon enough .
