This. Actually, youād probably have to put me in the situation before I could say for sure whether Iād resist the temptation. But I certainly donāt think it would be OK to do.

Well, you wouldnāt really get away with it.
At some point, one day, youād have to explain this to God.
Donāt think Heād be too pleased.

I know this isnāt good but if I were guaranteed not to get caught I canāt say that I could resist
.
I mean, first there is the challenge of getting the money in a way that guarantees that I would not got caught . I would find that challenge, in and of itself, tempting.
(other than the luck of a lost briefcase, which would NEVER happen and in that case, I would hand it in because chances are you are dealing with people who keep large $$$ in a briefcase-generally not someone I would want to bring into my life)
Although, once I would have the money, Iām not sure I could enjoy it because you would have to enjoy it in a way that keeps it hidden. You would have to always be aware of what you wanted to do with it and whether or not it would attract unwanted attention. Kind of like the āTell Tale Heartā scenario. Eventually, I think you would go a little crazy. So I guess to maintain my sanity (and because its wrong
) I probably wouldnāt do it: but I would REALLY think about it.

I suppose one could rationalize stealing from a thief. And maybe banks are also thieves. But I still wouldnāt take the moneyā¦and run, unless it was in order to save the life of a family member.

Turn it inā¦
The larger the amount the more likely I would be to turn it in - or just leave it where I found itā¦ As others have mentioned, who keeps that much cash in a briefcase???
Besides, regardless of the method of acquiring it, the larger the amount the more significant it is to the one who lost itā¦
Turn it in and build treasure in heaven.
Peace

If you found it in a briefcase you know its stolen. If you turn that in it will just sit on a shelf in the evidence room, wont it? If you keep it you might be an unwitting player in aa sting.
Money? I wouldnāt keep it. Now if it was a briefcase full of loose gemstonesā¦

No. Itās not my right to take it, and if I did, I know I would feel terribly guilty. Plus then youād have to worry about all the charges that would be pressed against you once truth comes out.
Its funny you asked this because I was thinking the same thing the other day when I watched the movie āpsychoā. The lady stole $40,000ā¦ and even then I just kept thinking that Iād feel terrible if I ever did anything like that.

So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.(Mt 7:12)
Love your neighbor as yourselfā¦(Mt 22:36-40)
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Mt 6:19-20)
For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? (Mk 8:36)
Turn the money In!!! Anything else is sinā¦

I have enough trouble dealing with real-world temptations; I donāt have time to waste dealing with far-out hypotheticals that are never going to happen.
So why am I taking time to respond?
Does āgetting away with itā mean that even God doesnāt know? (Like thatās going to happen!
