Many people think that will help them get their property back. It doesn't though. No company wants to get caught up in legal messes if they can avoid it.
True, this could be a kindle stolen from the customer while it was still in the box. Unlikely, I'd say, but possible. (Does anyone, anywhere, keep their new toy in the box? The customer never got it.)

so what's the guy supposed to do, as a practical matter? I guess that he could send it off to Amazon & ask them to return it to the customer. Or maybe he could respond to Amazon & ask that they forward his name & address to the customer. But we both know that Amazon's response will be that it does not provde this service.

The fact that the the if had the kindle in the box tells us that the customer never got it & Amazon made him whole, because they would have had to. So I still say he keeps it.
