We've established that Amazon doesn't care about the device.
It's been established that the crime is actually ambiguous: He goods a device from another private party. He received the goods more or less as advertised. How do we know that the device was stolen by the person it was purchased from, etc., etc.?
Yet the "insufferably [language edited by moderation team]" on the board still insist he get law enforcement involved. At this point just the inconvenience of doing so, regardless of "rightness/wrongness" factor of the situation should warrant them putting some cash towards that effort:
He's going to have to spend time (and time = money) reporting it to the police.
He's going to have to drive (and driving costs gas and time, and both = money) to file this report, and deliver the device.
He's ALREADY out 120 bucks, how much more in the hole do you want this poor bastard to go?
C'mon, advice and preaching being as free as they are, sure seems a cheap investment in proving how moral you are.
Again, put up or shut up, or are your morals only worth the bits they're displayed with?

Oh Pooh. This argument is for children who only care about their toys. Apart from whether he SHOULD do it or not, all he has to do is call the police. They probably will come to his house to fill out the report. At least, that is what I have experienced. Whether he wants to do it or not, the additional suffering is minimal, except, of course, for having to repeat this sorry story. Yes, it's inconvenient to be scammed, but it is possible to get over it.
