This thread has gone quiet since Tim passed away. I miss his valuable contributions here..

There are very few "causes" that I find worth supporting financially. The Institute for Justice is certainly one. I especially appreciate their taking on civil asset forfeiture abuses where innocent citizens are robbed by government agencies.

Seems that no one is immune to this form of theft. Here's a current example (whole article at link)..

FBI sued after allegedly losing hundreds of thousands in rare coins during raid

Two Americans are alleging the FBI lost or stole their property after seizing it through a "shady" process.

"All we know is that their property was in a box and safe before the FBI broke into the box," Joe Gay, an attorney with the nonprofit law firm Institute for Justice, told Fox News. "Once the FBI broke into the box, we honestly don't know exactly what happened."

"We don't know if they lost it. We don't know if somebody pocketed it and walked away," he continued. "We have no way to know."
