If you knew you would get away with it as far as with regards to law and you'd only have to live with your conscience, would you…

1) Steal 100 pounds from an old person?
2) Steal 100,000 pounds from a bank?
3) Kill someone for 1,000,000 pounds?

But that's the inherent fault with these types of questions. The only way you can answer them is if you go into great detail about the effects of what hypothetical choice has on the people affected by it. As mentioned, what if it's an extraordinarily rich old millionare, who's a total ass? It would be a resounding "yes."

Everyone so far is assuming it's the poor old bloke / woman who lives just down the street who's going to freeze to death if you steal it.

I say it's

1) A rich millionare
2) An armed robbery on a bank, traumatising someone to a breakdown.
3) Mahatma Gandhi

And that totally changes all answers.

Sorry. Bored. :D

Armed robbery is not a victimless crime.

You only want to rob a bank so you can pretend it's Dog Day Afternoon.

Yes to all. If I was guaranteed to get away with it. but lets face it, it's not a real life situation and never will be, so I can say what I like.

Mohammed Al Fayed is pretty old. Does he count?
