A person, whom we'll call Mr. O, once stole a driver's license from another young man. The thief then had the misfortune to be critically injured in an automobile accident. Unconscious and unable to communicate, Mr. O was transported to the nearest hospital, where doctors fought to save his life. The police, not realizing the identification had been stolen, notified the family for the youth whose license Mr. O was using. For five months Mr. O remained in a hospital bed. He was virtually unidentifiable under the layers and layers of bandages. During this time, the other youth's parents visited the hospital often. They were glad to see that the person they thought was their son was alive and recovering. They brought many gifts to the mummy-like young man. Mr. O, his head concealed by the layers of gauze, accepted the gifts without a word. Mr. O would definitely have been better off if he had avoided all three of these things-stealing the license, having the accident, and accepting the gifts. When the bandages came off and the truth became apparent, Mr. O, on top of all his other troubles, was arrested and charged with fraud.
