If someone was rich, would you steal if you knew you could get away with it?

Say someone had $10,000,000 to their name. They're obviously very rich and are set for life. Do you think that you would be willing to steal something like $50,000 of their money from them if you knew you wouldn't get caught. I mean $50,000 dollars isn't a lot of money to someone who has $10,000,000, but do you think you would feel too bad about doing something like that or do you think you would go through with the act of stealing from them? If you're a normal person, then this would obviously be A LOT of money to you, but it would almost be like someone stealing $200 from an average person.

No, I won't. Why would I need so much money!! Also you can never be peace and happy with the money and the way you've earned it, so i won't do it!

I do not think I will be able to do it.Even if I knew that I would get away with the stealing, I will not do it, the reason being, once you start stealing, it becomes a habit, and I would not like that thing to happen to me. It is always better to stay on the right side of the law, so cheating and stealing should be avoided at any cost.

it would be a nice amount of money but stealing money is bad whether or not you get in trouble for it. Its almost like if you knew someone wasnt going to fight back and you beat them up
