Goodbye to Lonely Street

Jane Galt offers us the ethics question of the day:

You are a worker in a hospital. An unidentified patient dies on your ward. In his pocket are two tickets for a sold-out concert for two hours hence. You are pretty sure he isn't going to be identified in time to use the tickets. Would you take them? And if not, why not?

Speaking for me personally, 99.9% of the time, I wouldn't take them. If, however, the tickets were to the Steely Dan Heavy Rollers Tour 2007, well, since the dude had such good taste, it would be a shame to let them go to waste.

Right?
