The Feds Accidentally Mailed Part of A $350K Drone To Some College Kid 157
Jason Koebler (3528235) writes "A Redditor got more than he bargained for in the mail today: He was accidentally mailed parts to a $350,000 environment and wildlife monitoring drone owned by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration. 'We sent a set of about eight boxes for this one aircraft system, and one was misdelivered by UPS. We're working with UPS to find it,' the federal agency says."

I hope the feds paid for insurance. Otherwise all they're getting is $100. No exceptions, no matter what, I was told.

If he doesn't return it, odds are he'll get other drone parts for free! [patdollard.com]

Isn't "performing the service you accepted money to perform" a pretty basic level of liability? Can I accept a contract to write some C++ code for you, but if you don't buy insurance from me, sometimes I just deliver your code to some other guy instead, and fuck you if you want redress?
