How about "I won't give up on the stolen money"?
I'd like to add something.

Are you sure the translation was wrong? "I can't give up on the stolen money" is, I think, a figurative way of saying "I'm always thinking about it".

Well, CK thought it was wrong.

I agree with Scott.

The speaker doesn't want to give up on the stolen money, even though he/she has noticed it would never come back.

I suspect CK wanted to remove the "I cannot stop thinking of the stolen money" because the Japanese doesn't really mean "thinking". It's a bit of a stretch to get that from 諦める. (After all he is a language teacher, and has a specific interest in that sort of thing.) That's why I suggested "I can't give up on ...", as it's closer to あきらめられない.

The "I can't give up..." translation is probably the best here. Feel free to add it.

OK. I won't give up on the stolen money.
