Driving away from your money seems like abandonment to me since you went to the ATM and pushed all the appropriate buttons to get money.  The entire purpose of being at the ATM was to get money.  But instead of taking the money you left.

I suggested it may be time for Brian to get some help with his ADHD as it's now costing him money.

There is no cutoff amount, other than the one distinguishing between petty and grand larceny. Lifting $60 from an ATM is no less illegal than lifting $1000.

I agree that Brian did a stupid thing by going off and leaving his cash behind, but that’s immaterial. Suppose he’d left the keys in a car with the engine running (another stupid thing to do). Is it really sensible to think that he’s abandoned the car and that it’s anyone’s for the taking?

Great analogy. I agree. Yes, I did a stupid thing. But just like the car, no reasonable person would assume that it is ok to take the car because the keys were left in it. Money still hanging partially in the ATM is akin to leaving the keys in the ignition with the door unlocked.
