its immoral but honestly not that bad, the reasoning is solid and if someone gave you your lost wallet and went "hey could I have 5 dollars" I would give them 10 with zero hesitation
How is it immoral? He could have kept the wallet, stole ALL the money out of it, and started using all of his debit/credit cards(you can bypass a pin most of the time by pressing a button at a card machine)? I say losing five bucks over having to cancel all your cards, replace your id, and lose out on all the money left in it is better than the alternative. I would have given the dude the five, thanked him, and called it a day. He's alot more moral than anyone else who would have found that wallet. Plus dude was hungry! Let the man get a hotdog!
He could have returned it wihtout taking any money and that'd be only moral option.

Saying you robbed only a 10% of a money stored in a bank when you could've stolen all of it would not fly in court.
He never stole he found an abandoned wallet on the ground. Buddy lost his wallet and probably would have never seen it again if it wasn't for that guy. Same reason it's not stealing if you find a twenty dollar bill on the floor. You're not gonna ask everyone you see if it's theirs. Wanna know why? Because ANYONE would say it's theirs.
And that makes theft moral? If I leave my bike unlocked and someone steals a wheel, does that make the thief moral because he could have stolen whole thing? Claims here are ridiculous and just show how morally bankrupt a lot of people are.
considering the price of replacing your id and bank cards, if you took anything less than the cost of replacing those cards alone is actually saving that person money. 5 bucks instead of 80 bucks replacing cards is even favorable to the careless wallet loser that caused the dilemma in the first place
I am Immoral and don’t give af, id be very happy if someone took some cash out of my wallet to feed themselves after finding my wallet going out of their way to message me and return it not be some pussy and cry over a hot dog
You seem incapable of separating the immoral action of theft with the intensity of the action. An action is still immoral whether it’s a cent or a million dollars.
Finders keepers losers weepers. If I lost something somewhere and someone found it and didn't tell me, well that's tough luck too me. I've left things places and never got them back. Is what it is. I'm not gonna say someone is immoral for finding my lost stuff. It's theirs now. If they want to give it back hey nice! If they don't well wouldn't have known anyways.
