That's the way people rationalize doing something they pretty much know is wrong.

The last thing like this that happened to me was finding a pair of $5.00 bills on the ground beside a parked car. Before I'd gotten more than 20 yards away, a young, fairly cute homeless woman approached me and asked whether I thought the neighbors in the area would object to her sleeping in a vacant lot nearby.

I said I didn't know but pointed to all the Teabagger type bumper stickers on the cars in the neighborhood and suggested that camping there might not go down well with the owners of those cars. Then I split the money with her.
