The extra 900 is just that, 900 dollars in your bank account every month until death. This extra money could sure help most people out, but it also isn't life changing for most.

Being able to steal anything without getting caught is just that. Going forward, you can just take whatever you want and nobody will know that you took it, even if you do it right in front of them.
You will also never be caught, so if you spend stolen money or sell things that you have stolen people may realize it isn't supposed to be like that at some point, but they'll never make the connection to it being something to do with you. They will notice it is missing and assume it was stolen but that's it.

However people will let you take something If you just ask, and to them, all witnesses, cameras, etc, it never happened, or they at least don't know what happened and sure don't know it was you. There will never be anything that you can't steal as long as you're willing to go to the location of whatever you want to steal in person and take it.

So, would you rather get some honest and free money for life, or would you rather just steal whatever you want?

So like I can walk into bank and ask for money... Or I can find some billionaire and ask them to give me a million bucks. So I can get more money without it being a moral conundrum.

Edit: Or I can ask some scummy corporation buying houses to give me one of those houses.

Does the stealing ability also make me magically able to bypass security like dogs or security guards? Or if I'm in a place I'm not allowed, will they still react to my presence, even if they have no idea I've stolen or will steal some thing?

Yep, as long as you're okay with stealing you can take whatever you want. As far as a stolen house or houses go, they will just give you the house and everything to go with it. As if you had just paid cash or whatever. Someday they may realize that something happened, but not as long as you own it, and they won't realize it was you.

Both the dogs and the people will just think you're supposed to be there and whatever you're doing is completely fine. Afterwards they just won't even think about it at all.

They might realize it's gone later, but no one, and nothing will have any record of you being somewhere you shouldn't be or doing something you should not be doing

Yeah, I'd take the stealing. Just steal from pos's that deserve it. And from people with more money than one possibly needs... I'm pretty sure that someone worth $65 million isn't going to sweat $1 million being stolen.

saying an extra $900 a month isn't life changing for most is just showing how privileged you are. most people only make enough to live paycheck to paycheck. an extra $900 a month would allow someone to move out and afford living on their own or get rid of debts much faster

The money isn't meant to equal out the ability in this case, it's more about morals.

However, you know there's a big problem with how things are when so many choose the stealing option. I know I would definitely choose to steal and basically become Robin hood.

Seriously?

@Beveren_Rabbit

I don't know if this is a joke or not, but I'm on disability. I'm not assuming that all the peasants below me could fare with a measly 900. I'm assuming that all the people on CE who actually have some decent means of getting by could probably be mostly alright if they had an additional 10/11k a year. What I get, as a disable person from social security. Kinda like a basis for ubi type deal.

If I'm supposed to be "privileged," what exactly does that make you?

Not everyone is going to know your real life situation, but an extra $10,000 a year would definitely be life changing for most people that are lower to middle class. You're talking as if most people on CE can afford to live on their own. Yes most of us are in our 30's and early 40's but if we suddenly lost our partners or family we would have to make extreme changes to be able to afford living on our own in current year.

I know with the ability you could just steal millions or whatever you wanted but I'll go the other way because I'm not a thief and just take the extra $900. Honestly that would pay the majority of my monthly bills and my paycheck could be mostly just invested for retirement.

Never said it had to be just from bad people lol.

The people I'm targeting would most definitely qualify as bad people. The unrepentantly avaricious. The ones who will gladly kill you, your family, everyone you know and will ever know, just to get an extra zero added to their wealth. The ones who will end the world in their never ending quest for more.
