Nonsense. I don't steal other people's stuff and I expect them not to steal my stuff. Opportunity to steal plays no part in the expectation.
San Francisco had an operation similar to this going for nearly a year before the liberals shut it down. They planted cash on helpless people and watched others steal the cash. One guy was picked up twice in nine months stealing other people's money. Just try to imagine how many crimes this punk committed during that nine months.
My wife described years ago when she visited Japan that a person could place their wallet with money in it on the sidewalk and could return a week later to pick it up.
If YOU would steal my money just because you COULD, then you are part of the problem. You are turning our world into a lawless mess requiring us to spend resources protecting our property that could be used for more beneficial purposes. Your attitude impoverishes all of us.
ANYONE, in the wrong frame of mind and the wrong circumstances, would. YOU would, deny it however you like.
