That's part of why I think the question is interesting. Principle vs Social/Economic Status. I would guess most people feel it's wrong, but not as many would care/feel guilty for doing it if the person is of a higher (or in this case, much higher) social/economic status.

Robin Hood... Some think that the ethics of a situation bend when the person is rich. I don't feel this way, but as Impala said, I would feel less guilty about keeping money dropped by a wealthy person.

QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Jun 10 2008, 09:40 AM)  Why does it matter how rich the guy appears to be? It is THEFT to take money that does not belong to you, especially when you have an easy way of returning it to the owner! How is keeping it any more mature than an elementary school bully swiping a toy when you're not looking and going "Finders keepers, losers weepers"?!? Cuz the Ferrari guy needs it a lot less than I do. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!

Let's just say if a guy in a Ferrari is going into a club, there is no way in hell I would be let in the same club to give back the money.
Also why does the Ferrari have to be red? --------------------  |

There's not a shred of doubt in my mind that if you wanted to get the guy his $100 bill back that he dropped, the door man would either let you in or call the guy over.
