The lecture on the 15th February showed us a clip from 'Family Guy', which depicted Lois shoplifting, which is a criminal offence if caught! She was experiencing a rush. The thrill and adrenaline rush of doing it for hell of it, just to see if one can get away with it, is a childish prank. It may seem cynical, but when they do get caught, we then get the tears and they are sorry. However, for those with compulsive disorder syndrome and/or in post natal depression, the act of shoplifting is common, for which I sympathise. In my opinion, it is attention seeking and a cry for help. I've since read most peoples thoughts on this subject and have read the following websites, with the conclusion that it's a multi-million project for business' - you just don't do it!
