Synopsis

Three crooks place themselves in suspended animation for 200 years after stealing 150,000 dollars. Not only is the money still good in 2156, not only is 150,000 still a lot of money in 2156 (gasp!), but the only reason they run afoul of the law is that the suitcase of money they stole was counterfeit to begin with.

This story's plot is similar to Star Trek's "Mirror, Mirror" but the depicted events are used to make a thief feel shameful of his behavior.
