Agreed, they are being given a hard time.

I’m not sure what other people are reading...

He is not necessarily being given a hard time for trying to sell it.

He is being given a hard time because he is blaming the PCSO for his CEX account being banned and wanting this ‘investigating’

They have no responsibility for that! No one did anything ‘illegal’ or ‘wrong’ but you cannot day the PCSO is responsible for his CEX account

So the OP has done nothing wrong by trying to sell it

And I don’t say they had.

I said it is not the PCSO’s fault his CEX account is banned. Are you saying it is?

Maybe asking a question at CEX before trying to sell it would have helped ?

When he appropriated, walked out of the police station having been told to dispose of it, was that dishonest?

It's not dishonest but that doesn't change the fact the phone wasn't theirs to sell. If you find a wallet on the floor with money in it, it's not yours to take regardless of whether you can trace the owner or not.

It was his to sell, same as a wallet would be if the police can't find the owner and return the lost property to the finder.

Yup. Otherwise he would have said "Dispose of it how you see fit" rather then "Dispose of it or give it to charirty"

Wrong.
