Did apple sell me a refurbished iPad?

Did apple sell me a refurbished ipad and try to pass it off as new?

I lost my iPhone recently and needed to use "find my iPhone" to retrieve it. All good, that worked. My concern is that when I brought up the find my iPhone page on my iPad.. someones email was autofilled in the Apple iD field. I have never met or heard of this person and they are not a contact of mine. So I did a quick google search on the email address. They are local to me and likely would have shopped at the same Apple store as me.

So, did apple sell me a used iPad and try and pass it off as brand new? It was wrapped in the plastic, had all the included pieces, and it's scratch free. However, I feel cheated. And now every time my iPad feels a little buggy, I have to assume that a new and unused one would not react in this way.

Is there precedent for this?

Thanks
