You find a huge sack full of money that has fallen off the back of a truck. You realize this would be a fortune to your family, but there is one obvious catch. This money has to belong to someone else, and to take it and use it for your family would be stealing. You could explain your situation to the rightful owner of the money, but how can you know he’ll be a generous person? Would you:

a. Return the money to its rightful owner or
b. Take the money and use it to help your family
No issue here - take it without a 2nd thought.

If the rightful owner could afford to have a full sack of money tranported insecurely -they can afford to lose it. Starving people come first.
