Modern day Robin Hood

You witness a man rob a bank, but instead of keeping the money for himself, he donates it to a local orphanage. You know this orphanage has been struggling for funding, and this money will allow the children to receive proper food, clothing and medical care. If you report the crime, the money will be taken away from the orphanage and given back to the bank.

What would you do?

There's no such thing as a victimless crime someone will suffer somewhere down the line. I'd shop him he's not god.

If this was the case, I would probably be tempted not to report. But if people kept robbing banks and handing it to charity, there would be consequences for everybody, so I don't support the idea. Contradiction I know

Ignoring bad things things in favour of what you think may be morally good is where anarchy begins

Yep. It's not up to us to decide what's a crime worthy of punishment and what isn't.

Now lets consider that that very day the other orphanage at the other end of town had deposited their lottery grant given to buy new play equipment, clothes and other essentials for the kids in that bank and that was part of what was stolen?

No brainer really - whilst at face value the actions of the thief may appear altruistic - they're actually not and may have no end of other consequences.

I'd let it slide. There are loads of people in desperate need of money with no hope of ever getting it.

There are plenty of people who have way more than they deserve or need.

Fuck it.. I'd offer my services for the next job if I didn't have kids of my own.

Isn't money in the bank covered by insurance? Two criminal enterprises watching each other's backs. Yet Robin Hood is called the thief?

It's a hypothetical scenario - and I was just adding further hypothetics to it.

However to take your point - yes once it's in the bank in theory it's covered by insurance - but as a result of the theft the premiums go up, resulting in higher bank charges or lesser interest, or reduced service.

As someone said further up - no crime is victimless

That's not the Robin Hood model. The Bank is holding the money for other people. I accept it makes money by doing that but the thief is not necessarily stealing just that element.

I would report it and use the opportunity to get press coverage for the orphanage and start a campaign for proper state support for looked after children.

I would pretend I didn't see him. The bank is probably insured and the only people you are really hurting are the investors.

That's not ok though.

I'm not wealthy or even comfortably off but my pension portfolio (less posh than itvsounds) might be invested in that bank.

I'd report the crime, then tell him to donate his own money and do some fundraising events.

It's not altruistic to 'donate' other people's money.

I would have said let it go too, but someone may have depended on getting their money from the bank the same day, in desperate need of it due to having no food, gas or electric, have children, vulnerable people going without and so they would be making them suffer by doing this
