Sorry, but I paid $10 for this eReader, found out it was blacklisted, called Amazon and was told to return it to the pawn shop. It wasn't a big enough deal to waste my time going to the police department (and which one, there were several cities in the DFW area where I lived?). I'm definitely not going to beat myself up over this. But if you want the "adventure" for yourself, go to eBay, find a blacklisted Kindle and go "whole hog" on this.

The time to do it was four or five years ago, or when you didn't live 1700 miles away, or when you bought it from the pawn shop. If a pawn shop is selling stolen merchandise, the police may be interested in knowing. Heck you didn't even need to go to the police station; a phone call would have probably determined if they were interested.
It is always easier to stick your head in the sand and say not my problem, or I'm to busy. If everyone did this...
