Default Re: Target sends me $300 gift card by mistake--whats my play?

sorry, it's a gross misdemeanor. if it was $500.01, it would be a felony.

keeping something that doesn't belong to you = theft. Since Target is a Minnesota co., here is their statute:

"Acts constituting theft. Whoever does any of the following commits theft...:
(1) intentionally and without claim of right takes, uses, transfers, conceals or retains
possession of movable property of another without the other's consent and with intent to deprive
the owner permanently of possession of the property;

Also, as far as nameless, faceless, evil corporations, that hardly describes Target. They give a lot of money back to the community. They do not screw their employees a la Wal*Mart.

I'm pretty sure it belongs to the OP. I bet it was addressed to him. Thus, his.
