If someone gives something to you, and then later asks for it back, under what circumstances should you give it back?

Seems to me like the court costs will be more to the company than just letting it go. :p

This reminds me of the Ex-Lax bandit. Remember him?

He got a check for $98,000 from ExLax maker after claiming it didn't work....They mistakenly wrote in his zip code where $1.99 should have gone (for a refund)...He cashes check! Then flees!
