Correct, but this is not the same situation. If someone is giving you something every day for 4 months, and you have no intention to pay for it, you have a legal obligation to ask the sender if this is a gift or a mistake. I think that, if the Daily Sun went to court, the court would require the homeowner to reimburse the company under the concept of equity. The same concept applies if your bank deposits $10,000 instead of $1,000 into your account. You cannot keep the money.
