  9. Customer left large deposit, went MIA

    figure what you need for the work/proofs you did and taxes you had to pay. if they come back to you refund the difference and give them the artwork you charged for then wash your hands. if you don't hear back from them then you keep the whole thing. i'm no law expert but that seems like the best...
