An Apple employee has reportedly lost one of the company's forthcoming handsets -- reportedly an Apple iPhone 5 -- after taking it out with them to a local Mexican restaurant and bar.Unlike the lost iPhone last year, this handset appears to have simply been sold on eBay by someone presumably unaware of the significance of their find.According to a report by Cnet, the phone went missing in late July and Apple's security have been working to recover the missing phone.
Apple hasn't filed a lost property report with the San Francisco police, although it is reported that Apple contacted the police for help with recovering the "priceless" device.
The company reportedly tracked the phone to a private home, but a search was unable to find it.
Quite what happened to the phone is unknown, but if it was sold to someone and they are using it, then it would presumably have been detected by the mobile networks.
