We were honest and returned it to the company but, if the occupant of that house (or we) had decided to keep it, no one would have been any the wiser.

This happened to me with a mobile phone. Was unfortunately a cheapish one, about 150 quid rather than a decent one which would have been much better (damn me and my tightness when buying electronics really..). I was less than honest and saw the extra as compensation for my trouble and stress of losing a phone I never had but then had 2 of

Edit. 'This happened to me' - Not the neighbour and bin thing. It just got stuck in depot or something it seems. But then I was told it was delivered and so on. Then they sent another out, but I think they thought I was lying about not having recieved it, when I wasnt. Then the original just appeared days later.
