Re: Completely pointless anyway

Criminals sometimes do stupid thing. He may have believed there were nothing important on the iPhone, but he may have been wrong and there could be still valuable data on it.

Most criminals are not like 007 supervillains, they luckily make mistakes. Sometimes it's exactly looking at apparently innocuous data you can get important clues.
