The conspiracist in me thinks the SF police dept worked with him, but didn't want it on the record for some reason, and will just shuffle the investigation under the rug.
That said, we do need more information. The entire basis for this story is one person's account and the actual police saying they had nothing to do with it. The only corroborating evidence is a phone number that the "police" left that belongs to an Apple employee. The again, who knows how he actually got the number.
It's too early to jump all over Apple based on so little evidence, but the whole thing sounds pretty shady. If it does turn out they did this they need to suffer.
Although, it is a bit odd that after all this, he (Calderon) still hasn't reached out to the SFPD, as indicated in the SF Weekly's latest updates.
Furthermore, someone at Apple at some point in the past decided they needed a private police force with badges and uniforms that looks like real police, and recruited from "retired" police (how can one be 26 and retired anyway). That's not a casual decision by some middle manager, that's another CEO level decision, and that one probably came from Jobs.

... unless he was holding a badge out of the womb.
