What law are you quoting? Please post it. And there is nothing in the law I quoted that says it is only valid in the case of scams. You seem to think there is a law - that's OK, but unless you can provide a reference, I will continue to believe that the law I quotes - that covers this situation is in effect.
You folks want to talk about what is right or wrong... On that basis I can agree, but I am talking about a written on paper (ok, electrons) law that is on the books. Laws are not invalid just because you don't think they should be.
It is quite clearly about scams. When he bought the TV he essentially engaged in a contract with Amazon, that is not the same as coming home to find something from some company you never agreed to do business with. It is obvious to most of us that this is addressing the latter. Confirmed by the fact they arrested him and charged him.
No, that mistake would be in fulfilling the order, this is a delivery error which has nothing to do with the retailer. The retailer isn't on the hook for this, the delivery company is, which is why Amazon didn't care but the delivery company opened an investigation.
How is Amazon not affected by this? Someone else ordered a TV set that they didn't receive, so I am sure that they have contacted Amazon wanting to know where it is. If they couldn't have gotten the mis-delivered set back, Amazon would have had to send out another TV to the correct purchaser, without charging him for it; so in this case, Amazon would have been out a TV.

The carrier mis delivered, not Amazon, they would be the ones on the hook for the cost of the replacement. If fed ex loses my package I contact fed ex, not the retailer who shipped it out.
He called up Amazon and said "Hey, you guys sent me an 86-inch TV I didn't order," and they replied "Hey, man, it's cool, no biggie, just keep it, no charge!".
And you actually believe that? Seriously?
There aren't enough face-palms in the world...

You're not entitled to it, and they will take it back out, and if it appears you spent it knowing it wasn't yours, you could be charged with a crime.
That's a good example, but it will go right over the heads of those who think there's actually a law that says: FINDERS, KEEPERS.
