What I know just from other things is that when people come here, and I'll go back to the organized retail crime groups, they seem surprised that they're being held accountable here. I think They come from jurisdictions where below a certain dollar amount is not being prosecuted, they're not being held on bail, and then they come here and they are being held on bail and they are being held accountable for amounts under $1,000. So whether they think they can get away with it, whether they think they're not going to be held accountable, I mean, I would be speculating beyond that, but those might be a couple of reasons.
