Let me explain - When I said "hurt" I meant physical pain or death.

As to the "owner" of the ring; I thought it was siezed at customs before being put up for sale. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So, what you're saying then, is that crime does not "hurt" anyone unless it causes "physical pain or death?" Sheesh.

I've never seen any reference to the ring having been seized at customs. However, if that were the case, then the people of Canada would have been out $50,000. That's the equivalent of four years of my federal taxes. I work very hard and certainly don't appreciate dirty politicians wasting my tax money, or stealing from that pot.
