    I remember when I found a bunch of stolen goods and handed it in to the cops after I'd find out as much as possible about the goods (it was jewellry thrown in a lake, my family thinks somebody hit it there after doing a break-in and would wait for the heat to die off). We'd cleaned up the silverware, found names, dates, all sorts of stuff that could help the cops find the owners. Lots of family heirlooms. I handed it in so my little sister could learn something about doing The Good Thing and Helping Others, plus we found some fun in talking about the finders' fee.
    Three days later I come back and the cops say they didn't receive any goods that day, and I also spot two of them wearing watches that were among the goods handed in. one of them winked at me.
