I think the Trolley Problem is a different one that involves taking pulling a switch that will send the trolley running over one person but save the five passengers, or similar. In other words, whether you let 5 people perish through inaction or take action to kill one and save 5.
This is different in that it’s a tradeoff between a possession and a life, not 5 lives and 1 life. I don’t know that this problem has a name… the sportscar problem?

That’s the source of my confusion: there’s already something else out there called the Trolley Problem, and this is not it.
