One Grave Too Many

Joe Helmer sees a man collapse on the street. He checks his pulse and feels nothing. He then sees that his wallet is filled with money. He takes the wallet and runs off. He later examines the wallet and finds a card that alerts him that the man was ill with a disease that makes him appear dead. Guilt ridden, he goes to the police and tells his story. They tell him that the man actually died and was not the real owner of the wallet. He was a pickpocket.
