My boyfriend in college had this tendency. We were in a bookstore when he saw a big, beautiful, expensive art book he wanted. "I'm going to take it," he said. A small thrill ran through me, but I was relieved when it didn't appear that he had as we waited in the check out line. Then he spontaneously asked me to put my arm around him. Since he usually deplored public display of affection I complied. The book was tucked behind his back under his t-shirt! I'd noticed nothing!
A few weeks later he was arrested for swiping a 14 cent can of pepper at the grocery store. He was kicked out of college, never got his degree, and instead of becoming an architect, was a draftsman his whole life.

Karma got him. Beware.
So interesting and so well - written
Enlightening! The silent urges of the hungry mind.
