I'm not required to send it back. I just feel guilty because if I do
bring it to their attention, someone may get disciplined over it. Then
in another sense, if I don't say anything, I just don't feel right about it.

What if it is noticed and you were not honest about it? Makes you look
like a schmuck and someone still gets in trouble.

Could be Earl Schmuck in trouble instead of
shipper who made a mistake.

I'm in favor of notify them.

Call them and tell them, they will either have it shipped
back(cost) or just tell you to keep it.
No one is going to get in trouble....it's the computers
fault : ) Then, you will have done the right thing and put
the ball in their court.

If someone double sent (were they both from
the same return adress?), that person does
need to be reminded to have more attention
to detail. And not double double send send.

There are at least a couple guys here that write well

Report the extra to whoever you're working for.
Would keeping the second one be considered theft? Could
the possible oversight be a test of your honesty?

Exactly. An interesting question I pose to people: how much
money would it take for you to NOT report finding a sum of
money? Consider that the person who "lost" it might know where
he *left* it!

But that's the *easy* answer! The tougher question is "what's your price?"
I.e., what amount would cause you to compromise your principles?? Of
course, it's easy to say "nothing!" -- until that amount is actually
sitting in front of you! ;-)

A man found a bag that fell out of an armored truck containing north
of $300k about 30 years ago. He turned it in.
It was all over the news.
I never could understand how often armored truck doors popped open,
depositing cash bags on the road.
I guess they fixed the latches, since I've haven't heard about it
happening in the past 20 years or so.

I think that would be an easy one for me -- too *much* money!
I found $20 bill in a "parking lot" (if you can call it that!)
at Alpine Valley many years ago. Where the hell am I going to
turn *that* in? Which Dead Head is going to remember that he
lost it? And, that he lost it *there*??

I found a bag of freshly purchased items (can't remember what
they were) at Woodfield Mall, one day. No one in sight. So,
I brought the bag home, found a charge receipt inside and dug
out the phone book.

Couldn't find the exact name but managed to talk to a man
who was extremely cautious regarding my inquiries (about his
daughter -- though I didn't yet know that). I told him the
story and that I was trying to find the owner to arrange to return
them.

He gave me her number and I called her. She had just walked in the door
and hadn't even realized she'd "lost" some of her purchases! She was
ready to drive back down to the mall to pick them up from me (she lived
pretty far north). That, of course, would be silly.

"If you'll give me your address, I'll mail (ship) them to you..."

A week later, I called her again to verify that they had
arrived. "Yes, but you didn't include your return address
or phone number so I had no way to reinmburse you for the shipping
charges!"

"Correct. That makes it clear what my intention was, doesn't it?"

I may be an atheist but that doesn't mean I don't believe their
is a Right and a Wrong.

I talked to a guy who said he was armored car
driver. He said one time the intentionally left
a bag full of empty bags on the tailgate, and
drove off. Curious to see how long it would
last on the ground before someone snagged it.
Not very long, at all.

One time they had clear bags to carry the funds,
that was a huge mistake. The canvass ones were
bad enough, but clear bags with stacks of wrapped
bills made people eyes pop out.

Call one of the two suppliers and tell them what's happened.
I suspect they will tell you to keep -- or otherwise dispose
of -- the "extra" unit. The alternative is for *them* to
arrange for it's transport *back*.

Then, you don't have to worry about someone discovering the mistake

Were they sent from the same company? I'd be tempted
to review the one which arrived first, and notify the
second company to send a return shipping label.

Jesus would probably call down legions of angels,
and have them fly the second generator back to the
shipper, no charge.

Legally they are "lost" items, and you know who the rightful owner is.
It's the entity that shipped it to you. If you keep the item or sell
it, you have stolen it.
