I accidentally left my Kindle in a Pub one evening after popping in after work. It suddenly went missing. I was mightily p***ed off, but sent a document to the Kindle with a title of "NOTICE: STOLEN KINDLE!" pretending to be from Amazon UK and the local police constabulary, kindly asking the kindle to be returned to the pub or a local police station..
I used as much legalese talk as I could think of. It magically appeared back in the pub that I lost it at about 4 days later.
It definitely was not in the pub before that cos myself and the landlady searched the pub outside of opening hours.
So thankfully I was lucky. Although I was only a few hours away from reporting it to Amazon CS.

People who do as the OP's family did should get a good kickin' for it.. It's just not right at all.. Bastids!
