Do you have an abandoned RCN remote control?

We're cancelling our RCN services (moving to Comcast for the time being to save a few tens of dollars/month). It looks like sometime in the last decade we lost our RCN branded remote control (a multifunction remote meant for use with a Motorola set-top box), which means they're going to charge us for it when I return the equipment. I'm curious if anyone here has one lying around they'd like to get rid of -- maybe left by a previous tenant, or something.

Thanks!

this is a terrible reason to switch. remote controls are such a wasteful commodity. the fact that Comcast treats them as disposable hardly surprises me, but it's not something I want to champion.

In related news, I have an old RCN remote that I can't bring myself to throw away because I was hoping one day I might read a post like this on craigslist. My dream has come true!
