CA state law is apparently lost items are to be held for six months and attempts must be made to find the legitmate owner before they become property of the finder. So doing things like taking it apart would be considered illegal. Apple could be pressing on this but it may look like an easy win for a prosecutor who needs a run in the win column. -- John Duncan Yoyo -------------------------------o) ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
