I would send him a nice email explaining that the goods he was after are no longer in stock, give him his money back and apologise for wasting his time.

I have been in exactly the same position a few times myself, just blame it on your boss or someone in stock control.

In my own personal experience the Police are a complete waste of time (British Police Anyway)
