Is it normal that i have a problem with petty theft?

i don't understand why but petty theft has always been an issue for me. I've always had sticky paws and i even used to go to the savemart next to my middle school every day afterschool to steal another pack of bubble gum tape, and pass out the resulting collection to my friends. This carries over to my life today whenever i enter a dollar tree or a 99 cent store - i have a terribly strong urge to find something, anything that can fit in my pocket, and just take it. usually its just a candy bar or a rubber lizard toy, or like a collar or something. i think i already know the answer, but is this normal?

    Your klepto is very petty and not grand at all.

    You probably kleptomania. I don't get those urges usually, but when I see I can take something, and the situation pans out nicely, I always take it.

        Do you not understand kleptomania at all? It's a disorder like OCD.

          Are you actively seeking help for your disorder right now?

            I can't afford going to therapy for it so I've read a number of things online about how to stop doing it so yes I am seeking help.
