At that point Amazon could have made the original owner "whole." Did they tell me to send it? No. Did they tell me to take it to the police station and report it? No. What would the policemen do with a product worth $20 or $30? at the most? (Probably hold on to it for a year and sell it at a police auction.) Amazon's only concern was that I be made "whole" again by getting my money back from the pawn shop. Advice of dubious value since the pawn shop employee would have probably told me to pound sand. I decided to make myself "whole" by using the device. Do I feel bad about this? Not one bit.
It might be interesting to take it to the police to see what they say? It may be a legitimate device, but if it was stolen, the police may (or may not) be interested in pursuing it.
