Based on my experiences, you'll probably get nowhere legally
without writing a letter requesting the package, and having it sent
return-reciept.  FedEx, the credit card company, and the supplier
of the package may need it, but if you need to take legal action it
would be better the earlier you sent the letter.  YMMV.

Well, in that case you can definately have the credit card company
refuse the charge, as the clearly misaddressed the package.  You
could also bring action against FedEx for thier stupidity, but IMHO
your best bet is against the company sending you the product, or
your forging neighbour.

Well, bringing a suit up can be extremely expensive, but you can
(slightly) more easily merely report a case a forgery to the police
and have a warrent issued.  You don't get paid, but you should get
your package and a warm smug feeling.  The threat of that could be
effective, too.  Most leases have a clause about criminal activity,
too, so you can always have your landlord kick the jerk out. ;)
