Brief Suspense
In the spring of 2010, Gizmodo got a hold of a prototype 4th-generation iPhone by purchasing it from someone who found it forgotten in a bar. Apple made a big stink about it, and, for a brief moment, there was buzz that somebody could go to jail. Thus far, the "hardened criminals" at Gizmodo are still free and roaming the streets!
