4) Apple rebuffs finder and does not attempt to recover or claim the property (at this point how can it be considered stolen???)

How do we know this is true?

The guy who found and sold the phone is one of the parties to that particular conversation. Gizmodo wasn't there. If Gizmodo is telling about these events, that's hearsay. It could be a complete fabrication. The only way of proving this is to go through Apple's call logs or testimony from the guy who found and sold the phone. None of us knows who that person is right now.

If I was Gizmodo legal team, I'd make very certain that this event is true, correct, and provable.

If you put your trash out on the curb, and a neighbor helps himself to the iPhone you accidentally dropped inside the bag, you can't later turn-round and sue your neighbor for stolen property in order to get it back. Abandoned property belongs to nobody.

Actually, you can turn-around and sue your neighbor for stolen property to get it back. I don't think you understand the legal system. You can pretty much sue anyone for anything. Whether you win or not is a whole different story.

Even the chat clients can become an issue because you have to keep switching out of them to view links that people send.

Seems like the chat clients just need to integrate a web view. It's not that hard. Plenty of iPhone twitter clients already do this. It ain't rocket science.
