It sounds like something out of a movie. A new iPhone prototype left in a bar by a forgetful Apple employee. The it ends up in the hands of a gadget blogger. Sounds a little strange but could it be real?

Then photos of the next generation (number 4 I think) prototype start showing up in the Internet at the tech blog Engadget this past weekend. According to the site it says that whoever found the phone in a San Jose, Calif. bar sent the pictures. Then according to a rival tech blog site Gizmodo it said it had acquired the device.

Apple now reports that the prototype was stolen, what a drama. But could it be real…maybe so to Apple’s embarrassment.
