Here's the questions I have:

Why didn't he have the return shipment insured for more than $100?
Where is the original 1Z tracking # from the return shipment?
How did he receive only the invoice?

Also, I worked in a good sized hub and I saw the overgoods cage and it was almost always a mountain of junk. I'm sure there is plenty of stuff where the shipper or receiver cannot be found. And I'm sure that lots of effort goes into getting this lost stuff to where it's supposed to go. The last thing UPS wants to do is be sitting on a ton of unclaimed property. It would also not look very good for UPS to auction, liquidate or destroy all this stuff either. So they do what just about every other large corporation does with unclaimed property and sells it off (for pennies on the dollar I'm sure - not profitable at all). Just my take...

I checked out the CargoLargo store on Ebay - good stuff!! I saw a cool pair of galvanized windshield frames going for about 50 bucks (haha!!).
