Well, I hope you did not get the impression that I was not going to do
anything about this, as I was very rattled last night when I found the note.
I know this probably sounds weird to you, but it was a very strange thing to
get a handwritten note with these sentiments - certainly you meet up with
disgruntled cast members in the parks and resorts, that's human nature, but
for someone to go to such lengths - maybe just because someone made a
mistake? because they really feel this way? - unsettled me.  Maybe it's my
merry sunshine view of life, I don't know.  It just took me a while to
figure out what I was going to do.  I'll keep you posted if anything else
happens.  I related this whole incident because I am a frequent visitor,
ALWAYS send stuff home from the stores in the Marketplace, and have never,
ever had any problems with any orders ever, here the one time when my order
is wrong (with the additional merch) a strange note accompanies it!

I still don't know if I should be commended for anything by just doing
something that any honest person would do.  And if it had come to me without
the note I still would have made a call.
