I ran into the girl in the hallway - turns out, she does want the computer, and her mother threw it out for some unknown reason. It's back in her room now.
So, she gets a computer back, one that you could have kept for yourself.
You, on the other hand, get no computer for your trouble. You get to know that you are a good person, who behaves ethically even when it's hard to do so. That's not only better, it's quite beyond priceless. No amount of money or technology can buy it.

Either that or the girl threw the computer out, changed her mind, and is lying about it. Which seems more likely, to me. But whatever.

I'm proud to know you.
