I would stop reading "The Daily mail"

Aww, c'mon Scot. There's apparently no control group, but a blind experiment is rigorous science and newsworthy! /sarcasm
Apologies for a pun too insensitive for words, but apparently not an article in The Daily Mail.

I can honestly say I would be honest and tell them they gave me a 50. If I stole money from a blind person it would bug me for the rest of my life. It is just not the way I was raised, and money is not the end all of life.

Spend some time in a teachers' common room in Saudi Arabia and you might have to revise this opinion.

Wouldn't matter if the guy was blind or not.I wouldn't short change anyone in the first place.
