Apple accused of impersonating police to recover lost iPhone 5 prototype
Found on BGR on Friday, 02 September 2011
According to SF Weekly, six investigators claiming to be members of the San Francisco police department descended upon one Bernal Heights, San Francisco man’s home in search of a lost iPhone 5 prototype that CNET originally reported had been left in a bar.
The SFPD confirmed the investigators weren’t police officers at all. Instead, it appears as though they may have actually been members of Apple’s security team allegedly impersonating police officers.
Apple always "loses" some prototypes which mysteriously make it into the hands of guys who offer it for sale on the Internet or reporters. One would think that those super secret prototypes are protected from spying eyes, yet they get constantly found in the weirdest places.
