Is it normal to steal if something is outrageously priced?

  • People do that shit all the time. Mostly it goes unnoticed.

    The problem with petty theft is that you build your confidence and the problem grows, eventually taking on a life of it's own.

    Even if you were to be caught ripping of something cheap, nothing would likely happen. But typically when people get caught is when they make a habit of ripping off shit, especially expensive items.

    When I was 11, one time I wanted a couple extra quarters to go play stupid-ass videos games. I snuck into the change jar. No big deal but I got away with it. Next time, just a couple more. It eventually became a habit and I got caught red-handed. I got my ass beat and grounded that day after school. I said, "fuck stealing" after that.

    Yep, you get confident, careless, and THAT is when you get caught.

    So honestly, best to not develop the habit to begin with.
