If no one was watching & you KNEW you wouldn't get caught, would you steal $100.

I would NOT. If you take something that is not yours then it never really belongs to you. You will ALWAYS know it belonged to someone else and that will stay with you like bad baggage.

I wouldn't, either. It would eat away at my conscience. If the money doesn't belong to me, then I should not have it! Good question.

No, I wouldn't. It wouldn't matter if no one else knew -- I would know.

No I would never do that. I would feel too guilty. Whoever the money belongs to earned it and needs it. I would not want anyone to do that to me. Good question!

No, because I still have to live with knowing what I did was wrong. And even if no one else is looking, God always is.

I couldn't b/c I would know what I did. The problem would also be that I wouldn't be able to use it for anything because of the fact that I would know it wasn't mine.

I've had plenty of opportunity to do such a thing, but I haven't and won't. I would feel guilty forever and it just wouldn't be worth it in the end.

If it is lost and there is no obvious owner then it would be okay to keep it unless you have a way of finding the actual owner. You sound like an honest person.
