At least if the situation is:Cleric: "Can I store my stuff at your place?"Lawful Good Guy: "Sure thing"There's really nothing ambiguous about "store my stuff" that would give one the impression that a Lawful Good individual could make use of it. A Lawful Good individual would likely ask before taking anything from the priest, being both Lawful, and Good. Or he might say, "I'm going to start charging you for storing your treasure at my place. And, if you want to move it, then I'm still going to have to ask for a little for the time it already spent locked away at my residence. Fair's fair, after all." While it is true that alignment isn't a straight jacket, a Lawful Good individual seems to imply someone who would ask first, whereas a Neutral Good one would borrow, then ask after the fact (or fess up to it), and a Chaotic Good one might skim without asking and never say a word, knowing it was the right thing to do, and not wanting to anger the priest. At least as far as general alignment tendencies go. Considering that your average person doesn't do great deeds of sacrifice and nobility, it's often little things like that, in my opinion, which make up the alignment of the individual. They might save a kid from a burning building, or turn in their morally twisted relative to the law, or whatever, but situations like that don't come up often, so it's the little things like common courtesy (or lack thereof) or personal integrity that help define the alignment in most folks.</blockquote>
