What to do with a brokerʼs lawn mower?

One option is to return the lawn mower to the broker. This is the most ethical course of action since it is not your property. You can either contact the broker directly or return the lawn mower to their place of business.
If you are unable to return the lawn mower to the broker, you could also sell it. However, be sure to disclose that it belongs to the broker and that you are selling it on their behalf.
Another option would be to donate the lawn mower to a charity or organization in need. This way, the brokerʼs lawn mower can still be put to good use.
