Thievesville, U.S.A. Amy, Bob, Carol, Dave, Eden, Frank, and Gina all live in separate houses in the same neigh- borhood. Determine which laws, if any, each of these persons broke. Early every morning Amy goes from house to house stealing newspapers. She gets about 20 every day. She takes them to the corner newsstand run by Bob and sells them to him for a nickel apiece. She takes the dollar she earns and deposits it in the bank. She always goes to her favorite teller, Carol. Carol has a policy of taking 5 cents of every deposit for herself. She only makes a few dollars a day (all in nickels), but over the years the money has added up to $1,200. She doesn't dare put it in the bank. She keeps it at home under her mattress. One day Dave is out searching for his newspaper when he sees that Carol has left one of her bedroom windows open. He seizes the opportunity, crawls in, finds the bulging mattress, and steals her money. As Dave crawls out the window, Eden sees him. She writes Dave a note, \"I saw you. If you don't pay me $1,000, I'll tell the police.\" Dave thinks he better pay Eden off. Late at night, he takes $1,000, puts it in a bag, and walks toward Eden's house. But Frank is lurking in the bushes. Frank sneaks behind Dave and jabs his finger in Dave's back, saying, \"I've got a gun. Just drop the bag on the ground and leave. Don't turn around.\" Dave does as he's told. When Dave gets home, he realizes he has to raise some cash fast to pay off Eden. He calls his neighbor Gina, who he's heard is an investment wizard. He tells her he only has $200 and needs $1,000 soon. She says, \"No problem. I've got an investment paying 5-1, guaranteed. It's a sure thing.\" Dave gives Gina $200. She puts it with all the other \"investments\" she's received recently and flies to Rio to live where none of her \"investors\" can find her. (C)Co What's the Crime?
