The cost of paying the police to track down the iPhone is probably higher than the cost of a new iPhone. Should the police have gotten involved when there was no evidence of an actual crime?

I lost a smartphone in Brooklyn and the NYPD bent over backward to get it back and then asked me to fudge the date that I filed the report, which I told them I was uncomfortable doing. It was very weird. They must be able to book it as some great achievement at the station.

It's hard to believe that the police cared, or really that anybody cared so much.

Davis might benefit by not being so attached to his phone.

sweating: running back to try to find his iPhone + trying to make it to a meeting on time

shaken up: losing a 500-600$ iPhone would shake me up too

I don't see anything out of the ordinary there.
