Woman steals mother's porcelain doll from her 10-year-old niece wonders if she's wrong after rest are destroyed in a fire years after

Taking things that aren't yours is bad—it's one of the foundational lessons of our society. From the time we first took little Timmy's ball at recess (because it was red and we liked the color,) and were made to give it back despite declaring "Finders keepers" we learned that taking things that aren't yours isn't ok. For some of us, the lesson stuck, but for others not so much.

Whereas most things in life have a lot of grey areas and blurred lines, stealing really, well, doesn't. Stealing is wrong. Disobeying your own family's last will and testament is also wrong—in both the moral and legal sense. 

I'm going to give you a hot take on this one: The doll thief isn't really in the wrong here—at least not totally. Sure, she sort of technically stole from a child, but there is at least partial justification for that.
