About that – supposedly – lost iPhone 5 prototype

Peter Jamison for the SF Weekly Blog:

Among other things, CNET reported that San Francisco police investigators, working with Apple personnel, had traced a recently lost iPhone 5 prototype to the home of a man in Bernal Heights, who denied possessing it or having any knowledge of it. The phone was never recovered.

There’s just one problem: SFPD spokesman Officer Albie Esparza says no records exist of any such activity by SFPD inspectors.

"I talked to CNET" reporter Declan McCullagh, Esparza tells SF Weekly. "I don’t know who his source is, but we don’t have any record of any such an investigation going on at this point."

Now you, CNET: where exactly did you get your information?

Update: This story keeps on getting weirder.
