Ah David,
Would that it be possible here. Similar things have been tried here and by
the time the thief's lawyers were finished suing, the thief legally owned the
originally injured parties property and income, that or the one protecting his
property was hauled to gaol for endangering the life of another. Justice
needs to take a peek under the blindfold every once in a while.
