John,

IMO there are NO victimless crimes. The offender always damages their own conscience in the process, regardless of whether or not someone else was involved.

Several years ago I found a #20 dollar bill in a delicatessen on the floor. I picked it up and asked the two fellows who were there if it was theirs. I could see the one fellow thinking, "This guy will never know", while he said it indeed was his @20 dollars. I knew it wasn't but was interested in seeing his reaction. I was sorely disappointed.

I also threw out some $20,000 of software I had accumulated many years ago and I sure slept well afterwards. *g*

Thanks for standing up for a principle like this.

Best,

DD
