In my experience they don't chase after you anymore if you don't return
the box.  They just send you a bill for $600.  Happened to a place I
worked at when we closed a location.  They said they'd reverse the
charge if we returned the box, but it had disappeared in the chaos and
we never did find it.  I suspect it was stolen by one of the
construction workers, since it wasn't the only item we had go missing.
