The iPhone is in my possession and working. The scumbag had already removed the sim card and restored the iPhone to factory settings, so any pretense of "I didn't realize it wasn't mine when the lady gave it to me and meant to return it tomorrow to the airport" isn't going to work. The cop still hasn't actually talked to the suspect in question. Looks like the guy was renting. The owner of the townhouse gave the cop the iPhone. The police say they're still planning on questioning him. Apparently any theft over $200 in Virginia counts as Grand Larceny. Who knew? The police say if they decide to press charges, if convicted the guy'll may pay a couple thousand in fines and court fees. In any ways, happy to get the phone back. Unfortunately, my pair of ATH-Ck10 earbuds are no where to be found, but I'm willing to accept that as the price of my foolish negligence. | ||

This is like.. one of the first times I've heard of find-my-applething successfully tracking down something stolen. A coworker left his phone in another building on airplane mode, and the triangulation from wifi alone was enough for him to know what room it was in. Pretty crazy stuff. | ||
