What would you do?

I just had a parcel delivered to my address that isn't for me or my partner. On phoning the carrier (Interlink) they told me to open the parcel and look for an invoice from the sender and contact them directly.
I opened the parcel to find 3 large bottles of liquid plant food, some strange looking pellets and some very high watt light bulbs, but no invoice. I googled the name on the plant food hoping to find a phone number for the supplier and was led to many sites who advise on the cultivation of cannabis, so i'm assuming that this equipment is for that purpose. My oh insisted I ring the police so I have done so and they are sending someone round to pick up the stuff.

Have I done the right thing or not? I'm now panicking because I know who the parcel was actually intended for and he lives around the corner from me. Our address is 8 **** street and his is 8 **** Court and we are always getting their post delivered here.
I don't want this to come back at me if he is some big time grower who realises his parcel was delivered to my house by mistake (and I grassed on him) when the police go knocking on his door.
Its not as if i'm even against anyone smoking the stuff even though I don't do so myself.

I once grew cannabis by mistake.....it was my daughter who noticed it on one of her visits...the plant grew to about 7 foot tall and I had it in a large pot in the garden...It was the smell of it she recognised...we have coppers living either side of us...and none of them said a thing to me!

I know (hangs head in shame) the old man got someone to pick it up. I'm still not sure if money changed hands!!!

in my defence I was duped into growing it!!

Moral of this story: next time, tell the carriers to collect the parcel and do all the hard work themselves - that's what they are being paid for.

The carriers told me it was nothing to do with them and they wouldn't collect it from me gingejbee. That was my first thought after realising it wasn't my parcel.
The police are now talking to Interlink, they just phoned to ask for the contact number and name of the person I spoke to.
