    Okay let me get this straight…

    This dude finds $30, and the police is on him like he broke into Fort Knox.

    I get my £1500 phone snatched from my hands by an asswipe riding a motorbike, I have the license plate etc., and best they can do is half-ass the report not once, not twice, but three times so I have to come by for a fourth time just so I can pay my insurance £250 to get my phone replaced?

      The way it’s worded, we can’t exclude that the dude dropped his own 30, and because the cash touched the floor for over 5 seconds, it became stolen cash once he picked it up.

      But you have to understand, this system allows us to oppress people even poorer than you, much more easily.

      I’m sure you feel a little silly, now that you know.
