We’ve seen something like this before, but CNET has reported that Apple has lost yet another unreleased iPhone, in a bar of all places.

Cava 22, a restaurant in San Francisco’s mission district, is the purported location where the phone was misplaced late last month.

Determined to get their property back, Apple tracked the device to a home in the Bernal Heights area of San Francisco, where police officials questioned a man in his twenties regarding the location of the phone and even searched the property to try to locate it. The man admitted that he had no knowledge of its whereabouts, despite reportedly being offered money by Apple employees in exchange for information.

In addition, there are speculations that the device has already been sold on Craigslist. Developers have already been given a version of Apple’s new phone, but they are said to be using the identical casing as the iPhone 4. Considering its physical makeup is the same as the current iPhone, a Craigslist seller may have sold it without knowing that it was actually the iPhone 4’s successor.

It is unknown as to whether or not the phone has been retrieved in the last month, although the San Francisco Police Department verified that Apple has not filed a police report in regards to the misplaced device. Considering the debacle that ensued as a result of last year’s “lost” iPhone, Apple is surely working hard to make sure that history does not repeat itself.

Apple has made no announcements about their next iPhone, although reports suggest that they will be revealing the iPhone 5 within the next month or two.
