I understand and applaud journalistic freedom of speech, but I'm sick and tired of journalists thinking they can do anything they want to because "it's their job".

Correct. They paid $5,000 to get the phone.

Forget that it's a 4G iPhone. If a phone is left in a public place, you pick it up knowing it's not yours, and you take it, I'm pretty sure that's theft. They took it one step further and took apart the phone too.
