I dropped, I assume, some cash and cash out tickets and, in a zillion
to one shot, came face to face with the person who was in the process
of cashing one of the tickets. The police told me that it wasn't a
crime for him to keep what he found, even though I told them it was
possible I was pickpocketed, and casino security didn't tell him any
different. I think the lady who returned Jean's money was scammed and
conceivably could sue the casino. Or if she wasn't scammed, the
police lied to me.

No arrests, no felony convictions, and no discussions of any sort on any of it. It all really does even out in the end.
