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.

And you have a government issued title in your name for that cash?

No?

....

Not the same thing, dufus.....


You leave money laying about in a public space - it's not really yours anymore...
