Ok, if you want to proceed down this line of reasoning, consider the
following ethical test, if you pass you get to keep the gold.
1) You buy a house, you invite your friend over, he finds a kilo
of Cocaine stuffed into the couch and happens to work for the
DEA. Do you:
a) Admit that it is yours because after all you
bought the house and to 10 - 15 years in federal
prison?
b) Exclaim loudly that you didn't know it was there
and help them track down the previous owner.
If you answered 'a' you get to keep the gold map.
