Why are people so bitter about this bar? It's their fault some drunk lost another phone?

seriously are they any worse than every other site including macrumors displaying the image of the bar?

If only this amount of due diligence was given to murder cases in impoverished neighborhoods. This is totally lame.

Oh, and the San Francisco Police official statement via the San Francisco Police Department

The fact is that the story was first reported by cnet. But has been covered, reported, investigated and verified by multiple sources, including the SFPD themselves. If the quotes are being fabricated, please provide some, any proof. Also, you should inform the SFPD, because apparently, someone is running around impersonating them, giving false quotes and has hacked their website.

Are the conspiracy theorists the same people still claiming the moon landings were hoaxes too? Sometimes you wonder if it them being intentionally dense. One hopes so.

Except all these other sources fail to confirm the only important fact, which is the assertion that Apple employees misrepresented themselves as SFPD. Everything else-- contacting the police, going to the house, searching the house with the resident's permission, is perfectly legal and reasonable. Where is the confirmation that the Apple employees misrepresented themselves?

I never claimed it did. pewra was asserting that this was all a publicity stunt that only cnet has ever reported on (all others were simply copying cnet apparently) and the bar owner. I just tried to point him/her in the direction of actual facts that might clear up the obvious confusion he/she is living in.

As to your assumption that the search was 'perfectly legal', that is not proven nor proven false. You are right, that we don't have confirmation of every detail of Sergio's story. What we do have is three parties: SFPD, Sergio and Apple. Apple isn't talking and SFPD has been unreliable. They admittedly broken their own internal policies during the event, have given contradicting and incorrect information and now deem it necessary to formally investigate their own actions. Only one party has both come forward with information and not yet had any of their information proven to be bogus and that is Sergio. Every other part of his story that hasn't been proven could be BS, but the fact is that so far it has held up.
