I’m amazed how many people are thieves. I don’t mean that in a judgemental way. It’s just so different to how I love my life. I’m somewhat taken aback by the comments about what people have stolen.
There are many reasons and starting points in these stories.
My favorite stealing stories are the ones that include items that would go to trash anyway/otherwise. I dislike the idea of stuff going to trash that needed materials and services to be created (no doubt creating some pollution while a it)…it’d just be such a waste.
Those situations feel more legitimate/reasonable to take something while passing.
A cop out or a coping mechanism. Employers steal so much from employees: time, wages, sense of purpose, sometimes even health. And most of us don’t have good ways to stop them (because socienty). So stealing a bit back might actually help feeling less hopeless.

I agree, a common one I see is when people justify stealing from the rich (companies) because “they can afford it”.
The robin hood mentality is a cop out justification for thievery

In the US, wage theft eclipses all other forms of theft combined.
