AR-88 receiver on eBay is item number 380058470533

[Don Roden]

I agree Todd, but something more than money was stolen... The claim may have 
been paid , but the buyer may have wanted the AR-88 for reasons other than the 
claim value in dollars. Maybe it reminded him/her of a family member or 
friend..

I guess that's the difference between "legally right" and "morally right".
