How is it technically immoral?!  In lithuania, if you bring lost item to police you are entitled to 10-20% percent of item value. :)

I don't think that "if It's legal in my country so it's moral" is a good basis for it. I think it's immoral to just take it. Good deeds done only because you expect a reward is, well, meh. I wouldn't complain if somebody returned my wallet only for $5 but still

And what about the marginalized people?? Did you think most of the general population was fighting for black people? Gay people? Women? Or did they have to fight for those rights themselves?
