Correct. A lot of people don't understand that, as long as a law
enforcement department "follows procedures," there is no way to recover
losses although I was told that such losses are "tax deductible!"

I have a personal story that was much more fun because I didn't
get hurt or lose my job. It seems that a Richard C. Johnson, different
middle initial than me, was wanted by the FBI for making bombs for the
IRA. He had lived at the same apartment complex as me in Beverly, MA,
although I never knew him. The apartment complex is very large. I moved
from Beverly to Colorado and gave proper notice as well as a forwarding
address.

When looking for the other Johnson, the FBI went to his last known address
in Beverly. The apartment manager dutifully gave them my address in Colorado.

Five-thirty in the morning brings a knock on my door. Two burly FBI agents
identity themselves and ask if I am Richard Johnson. I say yes, and they
spin me around, put handcuffs on my wrists and bring me to an awaiting
vehicle. I am clothed only in undershorts.

The agents bring me to a motel where the owner is a Justice of the Peace.
He signs some papers and I am then brought to Denver's Stapleton Airport
and dressed in an orange jumpsuit. I am transferred to two other burly
agents who chain my ankles as well as my hands. I am then put in the back
of a United Airlines flight for a trip to Boston.

After I get to Boston, I am brought to the FBI office and put into a holding
cell. I start planning to sue for billions and billions of dollars. After about
four hours another agent unlocked the cell and told me, "You are free to go!"
They did let me use the telephone and I called my boss in Colorado. He was
laughing so hard…. Anyway, he said to go to the airport and he'd have the
ticket agent issue me a ticket.

The FBI refused to bring me to the airport. However, a janitor who worked
at the building gave me a ride to the airport, orange jumpsuit and all. It
said "prisoner" on the back. I went to a United ticket agent and told her
my story. She asked me to sit down and checked for the prepaid ticket. It was
found. However, the flight was for the next day. Hearing about my plight, a
United Airlines manager got me a mechanic's uniform (coveralls) to wear, a
ticket to get two free meals, and a free hotel room at the airport.

The following day, I returned to Colorado. I had no keys to my apartment, no
money, and –nothing. It was a bitch. It was two days before I was able to get
into my apartment. I went to a lawyer. I was going to sue for billions and
billions. Nope, they followed "procedures." No recovery was possible.

Cheers,
Richard B. Johnson

That's what is sad.  Just because they are "here to protect us" shouldn't
give them the right to jump to conclusions to the detriment of others.
