remember the rare birds skins that were stolen...

[James Smith]

I'm not so sure about the victimless crime being a viable arguement. Those bird skins were owned by someone when he stole them and as they are considered very rare, they are worth quite a bit of money. That's grand larceny any way you look at it, not to mention that he was trying to sell stolen goods from protected/endangered species internationally. Even if it is his first offense, I would be surprized and a bit dissappointed if he doesn't get some jail time. That way he could add Jail Bird to his inventory of fly tying materials
