Reasons why some people steal


In my opinion there seems to be many people who think that stealing is the right thing to do because, it is the only think that they can do. They might feel unequivilant to there surroundings and everything around them so they try as all people do to restore order to what was . The only difference would be that they take from the more wealthy as sort of a robin hood method twisted to fit there situation. Since they feel they have lossed something they have become the poor and,
over time it builds up as they actual stealing is giving them power . It makes them feel good.

There is no true one answer to why people steal because everyone thinks different and, it's hard to figure out the root of the problem because there is so much false information being put into articles. My guess is as good as any other guess.This is the opinion of a non-stealer watching for himself stealing at a second point of view. Though i have encountered it alot would be a honest person whos is reformed from stealing or lying.I truley believe there are many different reasons why people steal but it all has one base....belitteling themselves.
