why do people steal? I know it maybe because of poverty. Their poverty-driven act isn't fair and good. I was walking with my partner along the road and these 2 guys were like making hand gestures when they saw a group of people who were busy chatting while walking. They were trying to get an access to other girl's bag. I know, it can be a fault of the girl not paying attention to her things, but oh come on, why do these guys steal. I really hate what they are doing. They have complete body parts and well-fit beings, why do they use it work in a better way... really sad:(

Yes 18 saurab there are victims, alot of them that is why it matters. It's not yet socially accepted that thieves just come and go and steal. How could be pathetic that country would be if people would not care about this issue and think that it doesn't matter

Remember thieves are part of the society. They are making a kind of balance for civilization. It doesn't matter anyone hate them or not, truth is they are the counter side of our well civilized society or we can say the darker side of our society which truly reflects the problems of our system. They are victims of that and no one really likes to peep into their history. Isn't it?

Why do they steal? Maybe they can't find a job, and have no way to make a living. That doesn't make it right, but they still have their reasons. Or maybe they just think it's easier than going out and getting a job. Sometimes things that are illegal are much easier than the right way of doing things.

yes, but it isn't fair for those people who try their best working so hard in any legal way. yes, most of illegal jobs make more money in easier way. I really feel so sad about because I was once a victim of these kind of people.

I hate thieves too, some people wants easy money that's why they are doing stupid things. It's crap and they know that but still because of poverty and lack of educational attainment they ten to do that. All i did is pray for their souls that God may forgive them.
I thank God I've never tried being snatched.

Hi nurseclare. yeah you're right. All we can do for them is to pray and sometimes I say to myself that the thing they got may help them. You are really lucky you haven't tried being snatched. The first I experienced it, I was like, wow, how did they do that because I placed on a safe pocket.After that when there's no chance of chasing them,I did not say anything. I was just hopeless because that they money stolen from me would be my last allowance for the week.

The reason why they steal because it is the easiest way to earn money as it goes money changes everything.

Well, they made a successful career over it - easy money with a low chance of being caught. Repugnant as it is, these made it their way of living (and in supporting their despicable vices) much in the same way that other people earn decently by working hard and diligently. This only reflects the lamentable situation of our present society where moral depravity exist. Gone are the days when people would think twice to do something that would harm their fellow. It seems some have adopted a beastly attitude so crimes of different degrees are committed at will.

Some people steal out of greed and some will say out of need. Personally I would never steal and would beg to no end before I opted to stealing. I can't see any good in stealing and what pains me to hear about thieves today is that they not only steal but they hurt people in the process. I would work my fingers to the bone before I hurt someone and or cheated them. They don't realize sometimes that living a life of honesty in the long run is far more rewarding.
So there are many reasons people say they steal, but personally I can't find a good one for me to begin to rob anyone for.

People steal for many reasons, the main reason, I think, is jealousy. With jealousy comes many negative emotions that can lead to dangerous actions. I understand what you are saying but let's face it the green-eye monster can bring the worst out of all of us.

Hi friend, i quite agree with you that people steal because of poverty, and what cause them poor may be their education, personality,values and so on, of course, without a doubt, they are lazy and not willing to find a formal work, but on the other hand, they also want to escape poverty, so they get money or other things by stealing...
