This is a trivial legal exercise and I remain surprised the
infamous "plaintiff's bar" has not started suing these scum.
Some of the obviously relevant legal bases are negligent enablement,
unjust enrichment, attractive nuisance.
Talk to any lawyer; he'll tell you. I am sure there are BIG BIG
damages to be had for a little litigation.
