Did the alleged "finder" do the proper thing and turn it in?

Not to mention the numerous calls made to 911 by the alleged "finder".

The OP did say that he had the option to press charges or not, so that would indicate that the police thought it was stolen and not found.

Personally I would have pressed charges

The funny part was that girl who stole the phone said my daughter left it on the seat of the bus when she got off, but this girl gets off the bus one stop before my daughter. The cop knew it was BS and rolled his eyes telling us her story.

Charging a 14 yr old really wouldn't do much, hopefully he gave her a good scare.
