I'm Not That Stupid, Dammit

Today, at work, an individual sent a unit in for a lack of charging capability. In case you are unaware, I an responsible for battery replacements on the object for which I am technical support. This exact same unit has been here and had a battery replacement two months ago. the MAC address of the unit, as well the project that the unit holds are identical; not to mention the fact that when I replace a battery, I date and initial the battery. The battery within the unit had my own initials in my handwriting as well as the date that I changed the battery.
Now forgive me if I am wrong, but to me, this is a sure sign that this particular unit has already had service.
So, just to be the nice guy that I am, I decided to check the person's claims about not being able to charge while in the charging cradle; oops, I messed up thinking that they were telling me the truth about that. Once again, I am shown just how cheap, conniving and deserving of my lack of respect people can be.
