Pretty much the title. I've been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.
I think it's easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?

Honestly I'm having trouble imagining what terrible things others here seem to be considering doing if they had the power to stop time. Hopefully it's not more than stealing money from a bank vault?
That's the fun thing about morals, everyone is operating with a different set of morals. Often similar, but some are drastically different.
And sometimes the things that fit within their moral outlines would shock other people
Some people need the threat of terrible consequences to not do terrible things
Ah, I think I know who you mean. gestures to sky
I suppose it depends a lot on the nature of said time-stopping power. Using it to threaten some of the most powerful people on the planet into using said power to do good (or at least not bad) would be on the list of stuff to do.
For instance - a note threatening Putin with the loss of a toe or something (and further escalating consequences) unless he makes a public statement announcing the intent of Russian Armed forces to withdraw from Ukraine.
