IMAGINE that you are Yanni.

I think I made a big mistake leaving the money because that  money could have solved my life since I've never managed to steal that amount of money. I could have spent the money on all my whims and have fulfilled my dream of being a great
businessman. By leaving the bag there let escape all that I have pursued during all this time. Maybe I should go back for the money and spend it until there is not a penny left, since I will not get another chance like this in my life. What will happen if the police realize that I have stolen a lot of money? What if that fat man is still at the airport looking for a possible thief? or worse, what if he realizes that it was me? What would happen to me?Ummm.... thinking it's better, I think I should take the money and leave it where it is most visible and make sure the owner sees it and can take it away. It's going to be crazy with such safety at the airport, but at least I'll have a clear conscience.  I know that life will compensate me one day. As Charles Lamb said: "The greatest pleasure I know is to stealthily do a good deed and let it be discovered by accident."
