What would you do if you found a wallet on the ground? Would you return it? 

What if it had the owner's identification in it? 

What if the wallet had $5,000 in it? Now, what if you'd just lost your job and you needed it to pay rent and buy food? Now, what if you had a child?

What do you think is the right thing to do? Would you even be tempted to take the wallet?
