A quick look at the Australian Apple store shows iPads are AU$749.00.

Why would you put goods to the value of $749 in your shopping cart, much less leave it behind there?

It saves your ass, yeah, but maybe you should ask yourself if you would have learned a better lesson leaving it in there once and losing it forever and then being more careful in future.

Because they live in a functioning society where mislaid things are generally returned to their owner with no harm done?

I left my iPhone at a restaurant in Ayala mall in the Philippens and when I went back an hour later they not only had it, but had wrapped it in plastic.

Australia is not the only place with a functioning society.

About ten years ago, I left my iPad in the seatback pocket on a Southwest flight. I reported the lost item assuming it was gone forever and instead was notified that it has been located and that they were sending it to me. I got it in perfect shape a few days later.

iPhones can be a lot more expensive than that, and people leave their phones in places all time.

Your comment is rather short-sighted and not adding to the conversation.
