A 61-year-old woman in Nantou, Taiwan was fined 5000 yuan with a 2-year probation period for taking 5400 yuan from a lost wallet and only returning 3000, claiming to help the owner protect the money. The incident occurred when the woman picked up the wallet dropped by another woman passing by, took the money, and placed the empty wallet back at the scene. Although the court acknowledged her intent to take the money, she was penalized for not returning the full amount and the lack of evidence to support the victim's claim of having 6600 yuan in the wallet.
