If you could commit a crime and get away with it, would you?

After reading Zarions post below just a question for people, if you knew you could do something like this, eg a bank, post office or jewellers and you knew you would definitely get away with it would you do it?

A police cordon was set up around the hotel for several hours late into the night in a bid to locate the raider who did not leave by the main entrance. It is not known how much was taken in the robbery. Staff say they are sure the man did not enter the hotel just before the robbery took place and may have spent several hours there pretending to be a guest.

Life is all about weighing up risk and consequence.

If there was absolutely no chance of any consequence, and I needed the money, I probably would.

Then again, there is the "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" argument.

In a word - no

But were I desperate, I probably would steal that loaf of bread to feed a hungry child.

No! If you can't do the time don't do the crime & theres no way I could do the time.

This guy has probably watched "Inside Man" but because he never left the hotel he's a suspect. Every single person there will now be observed & he'll get caught.

If you're desperate enough to do that sort of thing, you have to get away!

Nah, I couldn't.
It would never be without consequence, for SOMEBODY, even somebody out of the picture, but more importantly, if somebody hasn't earned something, they don't deserve it.
I wouldn't consider theft to be a business or occupation, so the labour / risk put in, in my eyes, does not qualify as labour / risk.
