collection box, which were stolen, altered to be made payable to Dimas, and negotiated by her.

Dimas’s sentencing guidelines offense level was increased by two levels under U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1(b)(2)(A)(i) because the offense involved at least 10 victims. Under the collection-box rule of § 2B1.1, comment. (n.4(C)), it was presumed by the district court that the offense involved at least 10 victims. Dimas’s contention on appeal that application of the collection-box rule in this case is inconsistent with the guideline is unavailing.

No error has been shown. The judgment is AFFIRMED.
