The detail is that whoever received that package did not report it and simply took it.

This week, the rest of the Playdate consoles, packaged and new, were deposited outside a restaurant with the greatest discretion. The staff there, surprised, noticed that it was a shipment, they contacted the DHL company and the long-awaited notification reached the video game company, which finally recovered the remainder of its inventory.
