If you're going to sell it to the press for $5,000, I sincerely doubt you made "reasonable attempts to return it". Do we know if he did more than call the front desk? A better deal (and more honest) would have been to contact the Gizmodo guys and put up a front-page ad with a headline saying "Apple, Want Your Phone Back?" and include a picture. Make a mockery of Apple that way to get their attention to give it back to them.
When you decide to make $5K off of it, I think Apple has every right to question your motives.
