Cyril Hedge, a financier and well-known customer of Nichollod's Stores, needs to leave London for a period of time to tend to his business. He hires Peter Dastardly, on recommendation of a local employment agency, as a caretaker at his Chelsea home whilst he is abroad. Dastardly uses Hedge's email account to send a message to Nichollod's and, describing himself as Hedge, arranges to have a home entertainment system priced at 5000, delivered to Hedge's Chelsea address. When the system is delivered, Dastardly takes it in and then sells it to shady, a second-hand electronics dealer near oxford street. Shady is unaware of how Dastardly obtained the system and displays it in his windows. A Nichollod's employee notices the system and Nichollod's seeks the return of the system from Shady.

Advise Shady

To what extent, if any, would your answer differ if Dastardly had visited Nichollod's stores to arrange the purchase of the home entertainment system?
