What??
He found it as in it was never missing like what he had done previously or found as in 'its been handed' back by the people who took it.

This was the original plan from Cricket Australia's cricket department until the commercial arm got their say, according to Greg Cheppell's newish book Not Out from India to ball tampering.
His comments on the ball tampering affair are interesting

The attack dog role given to Warner by team management to get under the skin of opposition - Chappell challenged Boof on this.
No coincidence that Sutherland and Lehman resigned in the wake of the ball tampering scandal
Dont think Warner 's main target in his book will be teammates..

He found it as in it was never missing like what he had done previously or found as in 'its been handed' back by the people who took it.
David Warner's missing baggy green has been located four days after he announced it had been lost in transit between Melbourne and Sydney ahead of his final Test.
The backpack containing two caps, including Warner's original from his Test debut in 2011, was found at the team hotel in Sydney although how it got there remains unclear. Warner posted a video on social media on Friday morning holding his original baggy green and thanked those involved for finding it.
"Hi everyone, I am very pleased and relieved to let you all know that my baggy greens have been found, which is great news," he wrote alongside the video. "Thanks to all involved and I am extremely grateful. Qantas, the freight company, our hotels and team management. Thanks [sic] you.
A Cricket Australia spokesperson said: "The bag in which they were packed was found at the team hotel, with all the contents inside. The movements of the missing bag are unknown despite extensive searches and the review of CCTV footage at multiple locations and the efforts of numerous parties since Tuesday."

Which is why he’s such a polarising figure.
Says that he has no regrets, and has been squealing like a stuck pig in the last year about the way CA ‘bungled’ (his words) the non-overturning of his leadership ban. It always seems to be someone else’s fault.
That’s why, despite a very good record over a long time, he should not be held in the same regard as true Australian greats IMO.
Whilst I believe that no other nation would have penalised those three so harshly for what was a completely moronic act, the sheer stupidity of what they did was mind blowing, and Davey boy was in it up to his neck.
Have other teams tampered with the ball? Of course they have. Do they still try? Probably, but apart from Shahid Afridi’s act of trying to eat the ball, none have been so blatantly stupid as what the Aussies did.

I thought it was a load of frog shit from the outset, just adding to the hype of his last test, how ironic that it was his out of all the players possible?
Would’ve made a special story to have tonned up and then bang, the cap re-appeared.
