The lost Iphone was not a publicity stunt:

Bruce Sewell seems to be getting nasty.

San Mateo County sheriff's deputies searched the home of Gizmodo blogger Jason Chen, who created an online sensation among Apple Inc. fans when he posted extensive information about a lost iPhone prototype, according to a message Monday on the site.

Gizmodo said the deputies, who had a search warrant when they arrived at Chen's home Friday night, seized two dozen pieces of electronic equipment, including computers, hard drives and digital cameras.

According to the warrant displayed on the site, the search was sought because the property may have been "used as a means of committing a felony" or could "show a felony has been committed."

Chen described the search scene in an e-mail to his lawyer, also posted on the site. Having arrived home with his wife at 9:45 p.m., Chen said he found officers had broken through his front door. He said the officers searched him for weapons.
