So you bought stolen property. In Germany, you have no title to stolen property
and have to give it up without compensation, even if bought in good faith. In
Australia, the laws are apparently different.

Except, of course, the Aborigines, who don't count... nice try.

Thanks for confirming my suspicion.

Hey, it's _their_ culture_, not yours. Maybe they don't like what you do
either. Go out and piss on Ayres Rock, see what they say to that. I read that's
a holy place for them.

Lucky you added the last point. However, this business about "not throwing
stones" must be a joke. You do that all the time.

Like I say, believe what you want and hope for the best.
