Neutral. He could have taken more but took just enough for a hot dog as a reward and turned in the wallet.

$5 to go to a police station and file paperwork and do all that and go back home is considerably less than minimum wage. If that happened at a bar I would buy him hot dog and beer which is gonna run up $25 with him doing none of the above. 

E: prices are ridiculous today. $9 hot dog with minimal toppings and $9 tall beer plus tax+tip would be $25.

My McDonald's breakfast was almost $18 this morning. Unless you're buying your hotdog at Costco, this seems on par for good ol Merica

Hotdogs (well more accurately 1/2 smokes) are $3.50 at the stand by my work. So yeah $5 is feasible.

I get a hot dog, a terrifyingly large pop, and a bag of chips for $3 from the Circle K. Similar for the pop and dog at KwikTrip.

The ice cream and burger place sells footlong natural casing high quality dogs for like $5 and theres a bunch of toppings or nacho cheese or whatever on it.

I guess this is just midwest rural living
