Either people reported it late or the seller was hoping to get the Kindle back and resell it. Rinse and Repeat.
There is always room for abuse but I prefer the small chance that disgruntled spouse or whatever over a thief or someone who picked up my lost Kindle using it.

Wait... so a Kindle owner can report a Kindle stolen and brick the unit even after they deregistered it from their account? So if I was to buy a used Kindle and have the owner deregister the Kindle off their Amazon account and I register that unit right away on my Amazon account, the owner can still claim it as stolen and brick my unit?
