I've often wondered why some people steal and others don't. It doesn't always seem to bear any relation to the person's ability to pay for things.
I know a guy who is now a respected vicar who was a deadful thief at school with no conscience about it at all. I've never so much as scrumped an apple or nicked a company Biro. Not because of fear of retribution, simply because it never occured to me to be a desirable thing to do.
I have had stuff stolen from me though and ironically in some instances by people I've known. People who I would have gladly given some of the items had they simply asked in many cases.
Never understood it really. Odd behaviour and difficult to fathom except perhaps in the case of someone who is desperate or starving.
