Hong Kong police have asked anyone who grabbed the money to return it authorities as soon as possible. “Otherwise, they may have committed the crime of theft,” Wan Siu-hong, a district police officer, told reporters, according to Radio Television Hong Kong.
There was an estimated 35 million Hong Kong dollars --- $4.5 million US -- in the van. About $2.5 million has been recovered. Nearly $2 million is missing, according to the police.
The van belongs to G4S, a British security company. According to the South China Morning Post, the company said it was liable for the multimillion-dollar loss that may have resulted from a malfunctioning van door.

I don’t understand the keywords on this one...
the money hasn’t been voluntarily abandoned, therefore to possess it and not return it to the rightful owners would be stealing. this will upset the thieves’ wa and they will know they are guilty.
