Kleptomania

Many have the misconception that people only steal because they
don't have the resources to purchase the item. For some this is the
pathway to this addiction. However, for many stealing becomes an
addiction to one's own brain chemistry.

For many the thrill obtained when the fight or flight mode is engaged,
is the best high of all. However, like any addiction, it can be treated.

Gambling

I have an older brother who learned to steal by way of hunger. By the time he man was 17 years old he had left home to eventually begin a career
dealing crocked cards for the Mafia in Las Vegas.

The thrill of staying one step ahead of the law, always living on the edge of being exposed became his addiction. What started out of need or survival
has now become an obsession for massive wealth and now back to simple survival, as this 70 year old charismatic personality has no skills other
than running scams on unsuspecting people.
