Well, it certainly could be worse for them, theres a good ending i thought i might save for last.
I asked them if the would like to make some money back, and gave them $20 for the old mower (they took my name down in case they needed it back) but before they gave it to me, they noted the name and adress engraved on the side of the cowl!!!
On my way home i detoured past this adress, and sure enough, the very same fella was sitting outside! i assume they found him there too, but i moved shortly after, and i have not been back to that bunnings to ask.
