Allow me partially disclaim my earlier flame.  There are two reasons
why pirates will not send in reimbursement:

1) They may not know where to send the money.

2) They may fear that such a donation could open them up to
   litigation. In fact, I'm sure that it would.

So, given that the pirate stole initially, it is not surprising that
the pirate would decline initiative to reimburse.  I'll still stand
by what I said about the flimsiness of rationalization, though.
