Default Re: Should I steal this money?

So I had a further look and I found ANOTHER envelope, this one containing 115 Euros (about $160 / £78). I thought for a second that I could convert this at the bank then take this to the poker club tonight where they'd put it onto my Full Tilt account, and I could spent the evening/night playing. I get paid tomorrow so I could easily replace it in the event I lost it.

Oh Lord, why do you send these things to tempt me?

Instead, I took it straight over to the lady in accounts and handed it over. She said no Euros had been issued to the laywer since last November and she didn't know what it was from, but took it anyway. So again I think I could quite easily have kept it, unless the next time the lawyer went on a trip and needed Euros he remembered his secretary had some in her desk and asked about it.

I suppose it comes down to risk to reward ratio. In this case, the risk, however slight, outweighs the reward. Losing ones own money is one thing; losing money you've stolen is another - how depressing it would be!

I walk the street a virtuous man!
