"there was no 'bill of lading'or identifiers of the source of the material." he said.
Although I suggested several possibilities for tracking down the proper owners: "Reversed address number", "tenth ave instead of tenth street", "canvassing neighbors", etc. he seemed to be of the opinion that whoever delivered should come get the stack if they really want it.
within a few days the stack was no longer in the driveway.
Now, three weeks later, I've learned that the sate police have given him three days to identify the party he claims to have "given" the stack to, and also learned that the stack rightly belongs to another close neighbor.
Now I feel complicit in that I "DID NOTHING!" with the knowledge I had of the situation. I could have at least strongly encouraged him to make an honest effort to find the owner.
What would you have done in this situation?
