Unreleased iPhone missing

Oh no, not again.

A year after a gadget blog paid $5,000 for an iPhone 4 prototype that ended up being strayed in a Redwood City bar comes another reported incident of an iThing being left in a bar.

Cnet reported today that an Apple employee appears to have lost an unreleased iPhone at the Mission district Cava22 in late July.

The errant iPhone sparked a scramble by Apple security to recover the device over the next few days, a source told Cnet.

According to the tech site, the device was taken from Cava22 and may have been sold on Craigslist for $200. Unclear are details about the device and what it looks like.

The story goes on that the device was electronically traced to a Bernal Heights home, but alas, it appears Apple (and the cops) left empty-handed.

Seriously, after these two incidents, Apple should just keep its prototypes tethered to a lock and chain.
