I had one girlfriend (Yes, the psycho one with the scary eyes) that said she shoplifted in highschool. She came from a single parent family. Father was a serial marriagist! I think she has something like six half-brothers and sisters, all with different mothers!

My thoughts:

1) To get attention of friends, possibly adults
2) To "Prove" you are smarter than those stupid people
3) Entitlement: I deserve this, but ____ won't buy it for me
4) General lack of values

Everyone wants to tie crime with a low income. But it actually ties better with a lack of values. Poor people with high values do not steal. Rich people with no values, steal.
