What kind of slip did they return?

I, too, read this headline quite literally. It sounds like they could have returned something they bought on Amazon.
Yes, because they failed to use a possessive here. The headline should have been “Andreessen Horowitz’s Returns Slip”. Then we’d parse Returns as a noun rather than a possible verb.
