Might have given a lousy gift... need some help here

I'm too cheap to buy anything new... and since everyone in my family abuses phones ( phones here are known to go swimming, committing suicide off the table onto a concrete floor, and laying down in front of a car to be driven over) I get used ones... I learned the whole clean ESN thing.. and crossed my fingers when the phone arrived hoping it was as good as promised... so far so good... every phone has preformed very well before someone ended it's career as a talking device and demoted it to a paper weight.
With that said... a friend's phone was on it's way out... I happened to be trolling through ebay at the time of our conversation and on a whim I bought her a phone.. under 20 bucks and I wanted to do something nice for her... problem is.. I didn't confirm if it has a clean esn.. I got all caught up on trying to outbid someone at the very last second.. She has boost mobile ( I managed to get that right) and when I sent it down to her ( she lives in Florida and I in Ohio) she received it.. turned it on and could make phone calls and get online... with out activating it... she looked and found that it has a month of minutes on it... those minutes were added after it left my house while in the mail...
Now.. short story long... did I purchase a stolen phone? if I did.. why on earth would someone add minutes to a phone they don't even have? do I just pretend nothing happened since it was unactivated when it left my house?
Btw... the buyer said he was from Florida... the phone shipped from Washington... and it has a Georgia number...

Personally I'm not from the USA so I presume its a CDMA phone? I use gsm sims so here is my best guess.
It might not be stolen, because first thing I would do if my phone was stolen would be to call up the provider and cancel my plan - presuming others would do the same would lead me to this conclusion. The owner might of accidentally paid for credit? or their mother/father without realizing. As for the locations, people do move god knows. I guess there is nothing you can really do about this. the fact is mobiles get stolen - probably rarely recovered. If the phone is stolen and the girl gets caught just explain to her the situation - but i doubt anything will happen. There should be away she can swap her number into it and use her own credit. As long as she uses her own account I think everything should be fine.
