How much $$$ will Verizon charge me if I don't return the Fascinate after receiving replacement?

I spoke with customer service and couldn't get a real number.  She just said it "could be up to $500, or more"

to be determined after they don't receive it within the 5-day period.

Is there a way to find out for sure how much it's going to cost?

Thanks!

Here's the reason I'm asking:

I forgot to drop it off at FedEx on the way to the airport.  My entire family is now on an overseas trip and won't

be back for 8 weeks.   The Fascinate, packed in Verizon box with FedEx box, is now sitting in my car trunk at

the airport long-term parking lot.  I was supposed to stop by the FedEx office at the airport cargo area to drop

it off, but forgot about it during the rush....   (yes, I do realize it's a stupid mistake that may end up costing a

lot of money)

Best to call customer care, and see if they can give you an extension.  I am not sure how long they will be able to give you.  I was given a 1 week extension when I only asked for 3 days.

If you don't return it they'll charge you full retail price for the phone.

They'll charge you $419.99 (full retail). Once you get back, return the phone to have the fee credited. And definitely call them ASAP to notify them of the issue.
