Despite Apple's notorious love for secrecy, it famously lost a prototype (http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/01/steve-jobs-on-lost-iphone-4g-prototype-its-an-amazing-story/) device in the past (maybe even two (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/26/san-fran-pd-looking-for-security-footage-at-lost-iphone-bar/)), when one of its employees left it in a bar. Now, the company might have lost another: a 20-year-old man reported that a couple robbed his Cupertino home and took an iPad "test model" with them, along with $7,500, prescription drugs and more electronics. It's unclear at this point what exactly "test model" means, and if it's a prototype for an upcoming version or one for an earlier iteration. Either way, it hasn't been returned yet, even though the couple is already in custody.
