Chandria Murphy of San Antonio lost a $6000 diamond ring at a mall in Great Falls, Montana. Jim Baroch found the ring and reported it to mall security. But the security guard Murphy approached about whether or not the ring had been turned in evidently didn't get the message. So Murphy ran an ad in the local newspaper. Baroch called her, and when she described it to his satisfaction, he returned it to her and declined her offer of a reward.
When asked why he had done it, Baroch replied "Why wouldn't you? It was her ring." So simple and so right.
Now contrast this story with the man caught stealing electricity from Oncor. When the policeman asked him why he didn't hook up legally, he said, "Why?" Some people have a moral compass, but it seems most people don't.
