for a start, you should wipe out that prior owner's information in a foolproof permanent way. I do not know how to do this technically. Is the retailer liable? I have no idea. but you being in possession of someone else's personal info and credit card info is a bad, bad idea. get rid of it.

sort of like finding someone's wallet. you can't keep it.

the prior owner would be really angry to find this out, I think. But I have no legal advice for you beyond what I have said.
