Finders keepers and what belongs to whom, sentence 2
The commandment "You shall not steal" (Exodus 20:15) covers more than grabbing things: keeping extra change, borrowing without asking, copying someone's work and using what was stolen are all ways of taking what is not yours.
Who acts: You, commandment, ways, someone · What happens: not steal, cover, grab, keep, borrow, ask · To what, where: more, things, extra change, work, ways, yours · Speech: someone speaks here
