Yeah, it wouldn’t be hard to just charge for the hardware if it isn’t returned.

Shit, Comcast has a pretty decent change of charging you for the hardware even if you do return it.

The 'hardware' is also $30 crap you can buy off eBay or wholesalers usually. Some of the modern ones even overheat because they are so poorly constructed, lol. I love the little "Designed with ❤️ in Philadelphia. Made in China" tagline on the label with the implied "Overheats in any climate above 40F indoors" just afterwards, lol. Comcast quality.
