What must go through your head to steal something? Not petty theft like candy or a small toy from the dollar tree. I mean something more severe, something like stealing a 150$ bike or a 500$ flat screen television. What drives you to do it? Other than not having the money to buy it on your own obviously.... And to be completely honest with you, if you are going to go through that tedious process of planning some mastermind plan so you don't get caught, why don't you make it something worth while like a diamond ring or some ancient artifact; NOT A TEXTBOOK!! Seriously people, I know they are very expensive but there are other ways you could get them cheaper. Rent them from amazon, get them used from friends who took the class before you, or even consider the fact that you may not need it in class and thus you could visit the library and just do the reading there. No? oh well, you live your very exciting lives stealing crap. It is all you man... or woman.... I am definitely not assuming your gender or anything.....
Anyhow, that is off topic.
The point is there are a lot of things you could steal in the world. You can steal candy and dollar trinkets, you could steal food and clothes, you could steal bulkier and more expensive things, you can steal the freedom of another individual, you could steal someone's sanity. I am sure you have a great reason for whatever it is you stole. I won't judge. I am definitely not above you or anything, I have stolen a few things in my lifetime too. It is all part of being human.
