Did anyone listen to a recent R' Reisman navi shiur  that mentioned this topic. IUC he was asked how one could return it, isn't there an issue of lo tchaneim- his answer iiuc (bshem R' Pam ) was that for tikun of one's middot it was acceptable .  When I looked up the Beer Haagolah he referred to it seemed that the reason was the kiddush hashem created(see באר הגולה ח"מ סי' שמ"ח וז"ל וע"ל סי' רס"ו שאם החזיר האבידה לעכו"ם לקדה"ש כדי שיפארו את ישראל וידעו שהם בעלי אמונה ה"ז משובח וכו' וכן הדין בחזרת הטעות שטעה העכו"ם מעצמו ואני כותב זאת לדורות שראיתי רבים שגדלו והעשירו מטעות שהטעו עכו"ם ולא הצליחו וירדו נכסיהם לטמיון ולא הניחו אחריהם ברכה וכמ"ש בס"ח סי' תתרע"ד רבים אשר קדשו השם והחזירו טעיות העכו"ם בדבר חשוב גדלו והצליחו והעשירו והניחו יתרם לעולליהם ע"כ ע"ש. . )


While lemaaseh there may not be many practical differences in the explanations, the shift in focus to me is jarring.. Did I mishear or am I missing something else?
