“MobileMe provided the groundwork for a little social engineering. Rob made quick work of wrangling a name and phone number from the provided contacts, supplying the police with everything they needed to get Rob his phone back,” Terpstra reports.
Terpstra reports, “By the end of the night, he had his original iPhone in his possession.”

I’m not exactly buying this story. Not enough details. The guy says his iphone was STOLEN at the Dry Cleaners. Was he held up? How was it stolen? Did he just lose it, and later realize that he may have lost it at the Dry Cleaners? Even the full article doesn’t mention anything about how it happened. I’ve heard of people losing a phone and saying it was stolen, because they couldn’t come to grips that they could be responsible for LOSING a cellphone, so it must have been stolen. The fact that someone, who might have just found the iphone and decided to just keep it, is called a thief doesn’t work for me, especially when someone posts here that they hope the guy gets raped in prison. Ever find something somewhere that didn’t belong to you, and use it? Are you considered a thief if you just find something that doesn’t belong to you?
It seems like a good plug for MobileMe, but to me the story is just not believable. I’m not saying that the story could not possibly be true, but tell me how it was stolen and what the thief did to get the iphone.
Who gives a phone they “found” to the police?
HMCIV’s story is the only one here I really believe….

Despite having 2 macs at home I have to use a windoze computer at work and mobile me sucks moose wang on Internet Explorer. It is awful and has not improved since the beginning.
wait a minute. What if the guy deleted all of the contacts on the phone???? Then the guy who lost his phone would have lost all of his contacts with mobile me through push.
this is a serious flaw…
I lost my knife. Then I found an iPhone.
This guy runs up to me screaming,
‘Hey buddy, heres your knife!”
He slips and stabs me, and then when I try to give him his stupid phone, he realises that its NOT his iPhone.
Luckily for me, he was a broker at Morgan Stanley and had just got a cheque for $5 billion as his Xmas bonus.
He slipped me a cheque for $200 million, now I have a beautiful native girl who answers the phone for me down here in Cata Zdel Fuego Las Habanas.
Sorry, I’m just really bored.

Uh, everything sux on Internet Explorer.
“wait a minute. What if the guy deleted all of the contacts on the phone???? Then the guy who lost his phone would have lost all of his contacts with mobile me through push.

That’s why there is a password option on the iPhone.
What people fail to realize is that locks keep an honest man out.
@maestrosteve — He may have been at the dry cleaners while his iPhone was in the car, in plain sight, and someone broke in and stole it. Agree that the information was sketchy though.
