The story so far as I've seen and can infer.
Apple employee loses IP5. Reports to apple. Security contacts police(formally or informally). Apple security meets up with police at the last GPS ping of the phone. Police talk to resident of the home(possibly with some verbal sparring to gain an upper hand to make the resident more cooperative). Resident was asked if the apple employees can look around for the phone. Resident agrees. Apple employees search with consent and probably don't damage anything in the process while the cops witness from outside.
Honestly, the only thing that sounds wrong is that the police didn't report the incident properly. This could lead to allegations of the police threatening the resodent if he doesnt comply.
Apple, however, didn't do anything wrong if they were allowed inside by the resident.
