	Have to agree on this one.  There really should be a way for people to
strike back at people who steal identities, zap money, etc.  My wife had
$40 stolen from her account, but because it was not greater than $50 they
could not turn over the information of who used the account, only that it
had been turned over to the authorities.
	That simply is not good enough to me.  I don't care if it cost more to
persecute, I want that person to experience PAIN.

	Stealing from people should not be a slap on the wrist, and right now I
think that is how it is being handled.

	Sounds like good rules.  :)
