After all, many people are doing it aren't they? How bad could it be? As is described in Dan Arielie's [[Predictably Irrational]], "Leave money around a common work area and no one takes it; it's not okay to steal money. Leave some cans of Coke and they're all taken; the one step distance from the money involved blunts the intuitions about the wrongness of stealing, making it easier to start rationalizing (e.g., someone must have left them out for the taking)." This shows how [[The more distanced we are from something in time, space, and relation, the less morally tied to it we feel]].
