Man who lost iPad on airplane used 'Find My iPad' app to locate it inside flight attendant's home

From now on im going to sledge hammer any ipad i find.

I wont ever return them anymore.

It will be economic stimulation, buy a new one.

The man admitedly "lost" the ipad. She did not steal it.
It was a scumbad thing to do, taking it home, but she did not steal it from HIM.
The airline PROBABLY has a policy that all lost and founds become thier property. Airlines sell unclaimed property all the time It should have been turned it
Gullible, thats funny, I think you are the gullible one.

Im gonna bury one just off my property line out back and watch to see whos sneaking around. It will be fun

Remember karma. I found an iphone last year at a dog park. It was just lying in the grass. I called the first person in the recent directory and it was a nurse for an older guy who's wife was dying. This girl was their private nurse. The couple apparently very wealthy.

Anyway the nurse was like omg you are so nice. We met in a parking lot nearby so she could retrieve it for them.

She turned out to be beautiful and we got to talking. That night she gave me a proper thankyou in the front seat of my truck. True story. No good deed goes unrewarded.

It's scary that people that think like you are actually out there, walking around.

Zero scruples, morality, or common sense.

I didnt say I would keep it. I was stateing a fact.
Fact is he lost it, and that negates any theft from him.
You are a little sheep led to the "look at this thieving bitch bandwagon", when if fact no theft occured.

She was arrested, so theft did occur, under the Oregon penal law, however it's worded there.

Each law usually has a few definitions of how that law can be applied. Just because she didn't take it out of his backpack doesn't mean it's not stolen.

She knew it wasn't her property, she knew it was handed to her because she was in a position of authority (flight attendant) and she knew she was supposed to make an effort to find the owner, or pass it on to another employee who would do that.

It's a theft no matter how you slice it. Nice try, though.

Yah....ok? ^^^^you really are dense

Right. And when a bag of money falls off an armored truck, because they "lost it", as the door flew open, and you pick it up and keep it, try telling the cops that the "theft is negated, as they lost it".

Then we will have your booking photo and a thread on you here, saying, "what a moron".

I love shit-house lawyers.

Here in the ole US of A, you are not guilty until proven guilty. We do not try people in the court of public opinion. What you have is a ALLEGATION of a theft.
It was lost, admittedly by the owner, if calling it theft
makes you feel better, Im cool with that my Lil Sheep

This story reminded me of this:

She can have a trial, although she will plead out, if she hasn't done so.

The police had probable cause to arrest her, as she was arrested.

You are what's known as a "thief of opportunity". Very low people, no morality. But you always get yours, in the end... like Wendy here is getting.

So why didn't the person who lost the ipad use the app to find it immediately after they got off the plane and realised it gone? Why wait so long?
Sounds like a bit of an idiot to me,
Not saying the flight attendant isn't in the wrong for taking it home but isn't there a certain time period for claiming stuff you've lost?
But then I'm one the finders/keepers lot.
If I lose something I just assume I'll never see it again too.
So I'm not a hypocrit about it.

The man admittedly lost the fucking thing, ADMITTEDLY LOST.
Rest my case with a ADMITTEDLY LOST.

This is the future. Someone steals your property, you are going to pay the price. She got a thieves reward.

Good thing most thieves are technologically deficient enough to not understand the importance of immediately wiping the device they've stolen.

Does thief of oppurtunity mean finders keepers losers weepers.
And I dont recall stating what I would do at all, so you can shove your little judgement up your ass.
Have a nice day

Yes. He left it on the airplane. Wendy then stole it instead of returning it, as she was supposed to do.

This is where we are at now, with her booked and arrested.

It is where you will be, if you try it.

Good luck.

He lost it, thus she did not steal it.

By that reasoning, if you forget where you parked your car (lost it), it's then ok for others to take it.

Makes to sens. To you. Nobody else though. Not the police.

If losing an item implied that the owner should have no reasonable expectation of ever having it returned, then why does everyone know exactly what a lost-and-found box is?

I'm willing to bet the airline this attendant worked for has very detailed procedures on what is to be done with customer property found on a plane. I doubt that procedure states the employee should bring the item home and 'plan on returning it'.

I'm guessing the iPad was WiFi-only, and it was only after the flight attendant joined it to her home WiFi that the Find Me App was able to phone home.

Ok, miss jump on the "look at this thieving bitch" bandwagon, after the owner admittedly lost it, you have passed the test.
We will be contacting you about a position as a FEMA gaurd.
Only took 50 words to convince you. Well done little sheep.
Im gonna post a link to a local murder case so you can clear that up for the police too.

Leave it long enough, someone can claim it

No, they can't. It would be impounded by police, and a letter sent to the registred owner.
Owner would be billed for storage.

After a period of time, unclaimed, it would likely go to auction.

It would never go to someone "finding it".

I'm deaf....So I did no hear...

How so? She started using it, started putting her personal information on it like it was hers. How is that not stealing?

Because he admittedly lost it....
