It's because idiots don't bother to kick up a fuss and just walk away
after getting riped off that this sort of thing goes on.

Makes me think of the Irish man who went to watch Greyhound racing. in
the 4th race Irish luck romped home, so he went to see the owner to buy
the dog off him.
Well a few days later the dog was due to be delivered to him when he
got a phone call form the owner to say the dog had died.
"Don't worry Sor" said Paddy "I'll still have him".
A few months later Paddy met up with the man he'd bought the greyhound off.
"What did you do with the dog Paddy?
"Well Sor" said Paddy "I had 1,000 raffle tickets at £5.00 a ticket,
and sold them all".
"But what about the person who won it, he wouldn't be happy with a dead dog".
"He wasn't Sor, so I gave him his money back".


Love it! ;-)
