Thou Shalt Not Keep Found Money
I’m not entirely sure how keeping AU$250,000 found in a lane is stealing. Somebody is out a quarter of a million dollars, but if nobody’s put in a claim for it, who got robbed? I suppose the most likely scenario is that it’s drug money, in which case, as ill-gotten gains, it “belongs” to the community at large, and I know that one is ethically obliged to report finding such money, but I didn’t remember it was a legal requirement to hand it over to the police. Of course, if I’d found it and kept it, I wouldn’t have had it stacked up under my desk at work.
