View Full Version : Why do people steal?

I've always wondered why people steal from one another. At work all new hire's that come to the building start at the exact same wage. Yet they take things from one another, wether it be a soda, a cell phone, a pen, you get the idea. Why though? There all making the same trying to get somewhere yet there's always some assholes that feel they have to take other people shit to get somewhere.

The main reason I bring this up is last night I left my drivers side window rolled down. This neighborhood is upper lower class if there is such a thing and sure enough some idiot had to go in there and try and steal my stereo wghich they only managed to just rip off the entire dash and make a mess. Stole my cell phone, my wallet with all my credit cards, my debit card, but what really ticks me off is the pictures that were in it. The pictures were of my close personal friends and my daughter. The daughter pics were of the day she was born and I cant get those replaced as i bought them througn the hospital.

Again I'm not well off. I have 2 jobs to make ends meet and bust my ass to get the things that I have. Yet others who live in the same neighborhood feel that they don't have to try and work to get what they want, they can just go out and steal it. Granted I left my window down and Im an idiot for doing so yet that doesnt justify anyone stealing anything. I know this, If at anytime I see or find the person(s) responsible for this crap which would be pretty rare I will stomp the shyt out of them and spit on there bloody face before walking away. I am of course a little PO'd right now and for good reason.

How can they steal each others cell phone?

So you're telling us that you leave your your wallet in your car with the window down?
Don't you realize that's one of the biggest mistakes you can make? Regardless of if or not the window is down. Though, leaving the window down does seem pretty silly...what happens if it rained last night?
Next time you should leave the keys in the ignition while you're at it.

People steal because they feel like it. Nothing we do will ever stop them.

I'm speaking for all of us thieves worldwide, give or take a few who don't agree with me.

We steal for the rush. The prospect of getting caught and apprehended is a rush. It's fun. Those big-time thieves who infiltrate government security agencies, who are protected with their lasers and retinal scanners, they do it purely for the rush. Or the money. Or both. I would love to be able to do that, if only just one time. It'd be totally awesome. I stole from a Kay's Jewelry store, that was the shit.

youd be surprised what people steal. I leave my wallet in my car with the windows up and the doors locked. I feel a little ticked because I feel like I have to defend myself here. I already admitted to making a mistake so I dont really need it put back on me. Swartz at least tried to answer my question. Again I just cant understand why someone would steal from another person that is in the same boat as them.

Sorry, it just seems totally ridiculous to leave your wallet in the car, why on earth would you do that?

People steal because they feel like they deserve something for free and because they really don't give a crap about the person who they're stealing from.

Like said before people steal for the rush. Some people see the opportunity to take something that others dont. A person that has stolen before will think I see that, I want that and I'm going to do whatever I can to get that.

I'm sure many of us have stolen before, wheather it be money from your parents, or a CAR from your parents. People steal because maybe they're jealous of what others have, or maybe they steal because it makes them cool. Of course they know the consequences, but that's what makes stealing, stealing.

Actually, most people steal out of a sense of entitlement.

They figure the world owes them something. Maybe they had a bad time as a kid. Maybe their family just doesn;t have as much as the next. This gives them a sense of being "lower" on the chain than the next person.

So they feel that they are owed something. And they go out and take it. Why? Because they deserve it more than the person they are taking it from.


There is a minority of those who steal that do it just for the rush. This is usually those rich whiteboys with nothing better to do. But even then they often are doing so because they feel society still owes them. Not money, but power. ANd that rush they get is a sense of power.

Uh, are you serious? So you're as likely to steal from a store as you are to walk up to an old lady and steal her purse?
More importantly...you wouldn't feel more guilty about stealing from the old lady?

You do realize that companies have insurance to recover for stollen items?

Wait a second...I just read this part of your post again...

It's not worth my time to bother talking to someone who thinks like that. I can promise you that one day you'll be punished for this.

And I don't believe that last part at all.

When was the last time you hit someone over the head with a bat just to get their wallet? When was the last time you shot a store clerk just to get the cash register?
You're the type who only steals from those not aware they are being stolen from. You say you don;t care if someone gets hurt, but are too scared to confront those you steal from face to face.

Your still a kid stealing candy from the store.

I've never stole anything and I have never had anything stolen from me(that I know of). I just find it to be one of the most disgusting habits humans have. I don't come from a lot of money, but I'm not hard done by either. There are a lot of things I would want but can't have due to lack of money but I would much rather work hard to attain those things then steal to get them. I really think it comes down to the type of person you are. Personally I think that if I ever stole something I'd find it hard to live with myself specially if it was from a friend or family, people that can do that just sicken me. In most cases I find people that steal are just really selfish people. Not thinking of others only themselves. As for why people steal Jeff pretty much hit it right on the head.

Great, so now Swartz is revealed as yet another self-absorbed asshole. There are certainly things that I like about this forum, but hanging around with dickheads who think the universe revolves around them isn't really my idea of a good time. Nor is the endless pointless name-calling that goes on around here. I honestly don't know how much longer I can do this.

Highly-refined, idealists with expectations often suffer when reconciling reality. When they tap out of the choke hold our loss is far greater than their's.

BTW, Swartz doesn't know the diff betw/ chicken sh!t and chicken salad. And that's not pointless name calling - I take everything ever said by him and discount it 150% - starting with when he claimed to be the leader of the biggest gang in NC.

You're right, of course, Jeff. I guess one of the things that I always liked about these forums was that it offered some counter-proof to that assumption. There are any number of "kids" here (of a variety of ages) who are pretty consistently thoughtful, concerned, and funny.

There are also any number of kids (of a variety of ages) who are self-absorbed, rep-obsessed, and insecurely nasty to each other.

I guess I'm sort of feeling like the balance is tipping for me. I should probably take a good long look at what has kept me here for so long. I'm not sure I'm gonna like what results from that look.

And Morningstar -- Sorry to hear about your situation. It sucks to be stolen from. It's happened to me a couple of times and it's always annoying. Still, there are plenty of decent people in the world. It's just a shame that a few assholes get to have such a big impact on the rest of us.

I look at the situation much like I look at the news broadcasts.

The majority of what gets noticed IS the bad times. The horrible events get the most camera time.

But, as in the real world, there is always an undercurrent of good things going on. You just have to know what page in the paper to look at.

When I was 4, I remember taking things, and putting them down my pants. Then walking out of the store. I barely remember it, I knew it was wrong at the time, but hey, I was just a little boy. A little later my dad caught me playing with the toys, we had to drive back to Toy's R Us and I had to give them back. I then found out you had to pay for them. Still, this is all a blur, maybe it was just a dream who knows.


I am against stealing now, I know a few friends who occasionaly steal, actually there not considered my friends now. I am surprised how HS changes people in a huge way.

You shouldn't leave anything with a value, or anything that would catch the attention of a person walking by your car. If you do leave your wallet, atleast tuck it under your car seat, or better yet lock it up in the storage on the passengers' side.

I had a jacket and wallet stolen from me once because I set them down to take a few pictures, someone walked up to ask me for change and I said "sorry I don't have any cash" and turned back to whatever it was I was taking a picture of. When I turned around to grab my coat it was gone, so was the kid, and my debit card and a copy of my passport that were in the pocket.

It was annoying, but it was entirely my fault for setting down my coat and then not keeping an eye on it.

In response to the original question, people steal for many many reasons. Most have been covered, but I think what it comes down to in most cases is that that's just the way they think the world works. Most of them grew up in areas where they just assume that if something *can* be taken, it's fair game. It's not then a question of morality to them, it's a question of whether they can get away with it or not. They're not going to feel bad about it, because they don't really see that they did anything wrong in the first place. It's just The Way Things Are (tm) to them.

I occasionally... research... people on the internet. Many people find this to be extremely morally wrong. From my perspective, and in the mindset I grew up with, there's absolutely nothing wrong with searching for info that's right there in the open, all over the internet and public as can be. I can see how someone would be disturbed by this, especially those of the older generation. Likewise I can see how someone would *not* be particularly disturbed by some kinds of theft.

Obviously I have sympathy for people - him too in fact.

But leaving your wallet in the car with your windows open is sort of just asking for it!

It would be nice if you could trust people not to do stuff like that, but it's obviously we can't. So it's necessary to take any steps possible to prevent stuff like that from happening.

I've no intention of getting rich at all. In fact, I hope I'm shot to death for the things I've done in my life, and even more so for their selfish motives. I have a foster family, I'm only 17, so I don't pay taxes. My "parents" think I have a job working at the mall. Most of the money I get anyways is spent loaning it out to people who ask for it. I may jack five-thousand bucks from someone, and see only five-hundred for myself. The rest of that money goes to a good friend, Steven, who needs repairs for his car, or Kelsey, who needs money to take care of her kid. I'm no Robbin Hood (I think that's his name), but if I have to steal to help my friends, then I'll steal. As long as the person I'm stealing from isn't a friend of mine.

EDIT: And before someone shoves his/her moral values upon me, let me say this. I know that if those people whom I help find out that the money I've been giving them is stolen cash, they would disown me as a friend and never be able to respect me again.

I somehow doubt that you steam five thousand dollars from someone. First of all, earlier today you were telling us it was the "shit" when you stole from some store...but now you're speaking of taking 5 thousand dollars as if it's nothing.

Second of all, who carries 5 thousand dollars in cash around with them? And if they do, exactly how do you take it without them noticing?

Another thing...what makes you think your friends deserve this money more than the people you're stealing it from?

I don't think they deserve it. They should work for it. Life has beaten them down so badly, though, I couldn't blame them. And the five-grand thing was just a reference. I'd never think anybody would be walking around with that much on them.

ohhh I get it now! So since you're friends are beaten down it's okay to beat down someone else?
I'm sorry, but your logic doesn't make any sense.

I understand that people get into rough situations that definitely aren't ideal - but it definitely isn't fair to help them out by hurting someone else. How would you feel if the situation was reversed? What if your friends were beaten down because someone had stolen their money?

Granted I left my window down and Im an idiot for doing so yet that doesnt justify anyone stealing anything.

Uh... Huh. I'm wondering how long you've been around this planet. Seriously, you're really that innocent that you go around trusting people have purity, and good in their hearts, and fairy dust, enough to just do the "right" thing and walk on by your car when the window was down. I'm surprised you left out a big sign that says "Please don't steal my valuables inside."

If you want to survive on this world I suggest you drop the trust the whole world card and actually, I don't know, try? Pretty much an every-man-for-himself world going on here, we can only find safety within family. And even that doesn't work sometimes.

swartz, you are a sad, sad little child.

If I had the capability , or really the care to, I would get info and report you to authorities on the basis of what you have said, factual or not. You are a key example as to why abortion should be enforced in some cases. You are disgusting, and have a really poor perspective on the world.

Firstly, at 17, your friends are likely in the same general age. They have NO need for money that they cannot attain themselves. You say they are in a sad state and are without cash? What of the people you steal from, who in some cases are undoubtedly older...they have rent to pay, children to feed, tuition, groceries, bills...and *gasp* they actually WORK for their money.

Pathetic. Truly pathetic. But, all good things come to an end, as they say. Keep it up, and sooner or later you will get caught. And once you are 18, that won't be so fun. Have fun being bubbas bitch in a cell.

That said, Morning Star, at least you learned an important lesson. Never trust anyone, no matter how safe you percieve a neighborhood to be. People like swartz walk around, and sadly without a bullet in their cranium or a shiv in their jugular. And they are legion.

I have had things stolen before as well. Why do people steal? there is no one reason...desperation, fun, thrill, idiocy, entitlement...addiction. Many reasons. But we arent the only species that does it, so it is hardly unique to humans. The difference being, other animals steal on the bare need for survival. Most human thieves have a roof over their head and a meal in their bellies. Those that dont, I can totally understand where they are coming from, such as a guy needing to feed his kid and having no cash and no food in the cupboard. He needs to do it somehow....not that that in any way justifies it.

Thievery is abhorrent, and anyone that steals deserves a good old fashioned whuppin. This has nothing to do with how I was raised, or my religious views. This is common sense. If it is not yours, leave it the hell alone. Rant done.

Is it amazing people like this still are still around? I know the worlds full of selfish decietful people, but sadly I DO give everyone my trust first. I've tried the every man for himself bit as you put it and it's just not for me. I don't leave all my things unlocked or in the open to test the morality of people, I know enough that I would get burned, but I would like to think that the one, hell even multiple times that I do slip up and forget to lock the door or put away my favorite firetruck that some idiots wont come by and steal it for the hell of it.

swartz you're still lying, even in your appology. You say we don't have the right to judge you, but we do. It's what humans do best, whether they like it or not - and everyone can easily judge you based on the muck that spews forth from your fingertips as you type one ridiculous case after another. You are nothing. Get over it.


RE: Stealing
No, it's generally not for the thrill. There *is* thrill involved, but I would say the majority of ACTUAL thieves do it cuz they simply want things without paying for them. Now I say actual thieves because there will always be that lot of adolesents and college students on dares to take little petty things from local stores. THAT is for the thrill.

I come from a Quaker school that stressed the need for trust, concern, and respect within society. While trust need not necessarily come at the price of foolishness, I have tried to live my life by putting my ability to trust someone above my ability to be hurt by them. Unfortunately, my last landlord took advantage of that, but I sued his punkass and got my money back :)

You directly defy the psychology that would accompany someone who had ACTUALLY lived through the circumstances you have. HatcketKlown, for example, has had similar experiences. I don't believe what you tell me because you can't even get your lies straight, let alone the psychology behind it.

It's pathetic.

So you're saying that it isn't possible for someone to pretend to live comfortably despite what has happened in someone's past? That it is not possible to come to terms with one's past and live with it?

living with it isnt the point. Covering your lies logically so they are believable is. That is the issue at hand.
