Hindus - AN ANECDOTE- its really true- A man used to serve lord Krishna in the temple?

Hm, it may have been something along the line of the theif actually needing the money for some reason and Krishna saw this and gave the baansuri to him. What good is gold in a temple if the worshipers starve? But seeing as this proverb puts emphasis on the protection of the servant as well, this is unlikely.
