Now The SFPD Says They Did Help Apple…

Oh good gravy. Contradicting everything they said before, the SFPD is now saying href="http://idealab.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/09/sfpd-we-stood-outside-when-apples-investigators-tossed-mans-home.php">they did in fact help Apple look for the missing iPhone 5 prototype. Now they’re saying that “three or four” officers went along with the Apple investigators and hung around outside, while the two investigators looked inside the suspects house. Here’s their official statement on the matter:

“After speaking with Apple representatives, we were given information which helped us determine what occurred. It was discovered that Apple employees called Mission Police station directly, wanting assistance in tracking down a lost item. Apple had tracked the lost item to a house located in the 500 block of Anderson Street. Because the address was in the Ingleside Police district Apple employees were referred to Officers in the Ingleside district. Four SFPD Officers accompanied Apple employees to the Anderson street home. The two Apple employees met with the resident and then went into the house to look for the lost item. The Apple employees did not find the lost item and left the house./> “The Apple employees did not want to make an official report of the lost item.”

So there was no report made? And no records? And they weren’t willing to admit it earlier when the press asked? Something’s a little off here…
