Fraudulent Credit Card Purchase

Looking for some guidance from those more knowledgeable than me.
Some scumbag opened a credit card in my name and purchased an item to be shipped to my home. Once it shipped they called the carrier and asked to have the time held for pick up. What they didn't know is I was signed up with that carrier for notifications so I was able to intercept the package before they could get their hands on it. I beat them there by 10 minutes.
In any event I had my credit frozen, filed a dispute, made a police report and all has been fixed. Except one thing. I still have the package that was intercepted. When this all started I tried to return it but since I didn't have the email used to make the purchase I was not able to return it.
The credit card company has acknowledged the fraud and said that I am not responsible.
Can I just keep the item?
