>You have recourse by contacting authorities.

I'm sorry I would have replied to your comment earlier but I was incapacitated with laughter.

How often have the "authorities" been able to help a person recover a stolen wallet? Or the funds taken from their bank account with a skimmed ATM card? Or any of the thousands of other kinds of fraud and theft or robbery?

The "authorities" file reports, thats about it. What they do provide is the illusion of protection, a false sense of security.

Really what are they the "authorities" going to do that a normal person can't?
