Am I a thief?

[tracilicious]

Hmmm...I dunno. Not a thief, but not completely honest either.

I encountered a similar situation recently. I took my change to a coinstar kiosk, dumped all my change, got my receipt, and then checked the bin where the coins that don't make it through go. I reached my hand in and felt a giant pile of change. It wasn't mine. Probably the last person that cashed in change cashed a whole bunch in and didn't think to check the bin. I briefly considered notifying a store manager, but decided it wasn't their money either. So I dumped it in the machine and got another receipt. Stealing? I don't think so. More like finding. But I suppose the most honest thing to do would have been to turn it in.
