Let me start by saying I know this is wrong. Second, I would like to point out that this is not my first flyertalk post. So we can all dispense with the Welcome to Flyertalks. My question here is not whether it is wrong, but would you do it?

If you had access to someone's frequent flier account and all of the following were true, would you use their miles.

Assumptions:

1. The miles expire in a few months.
2. The owner does not plan on flying the airline in question or in any way earning miles or using the miles before they expire.
3. The owner is oblivious to the status of their account or even if or how many miles they have.
4. You are not related to the owner of the miles.
5. If you bring the frequent flier miles to their attention the owner will still not use them, nor will they gift them to anyone (not just you) - in other words the miles will go to waste if not used.

Given the above, would you use their miles for your own benefit?

Let the discussion commence...
