Who said you have to be poor to shoplift

When you think of someone stealing you either picture some one who is classed as poor, a drug addict, a rebelious teenager or some homeless person in desperate need. How often do we ever think of a wealthy person stealing. Well my stereotypical point of view was they would never, they have no need to. However according to timesonline:


"shoplifting is the new middle-class disease"

Zorislav Srebic (picturesd on the right) head of the Croatian Football Federation was arrested for shoplifting in a W H Smith at Gatwick airport, and released without charge. Now can anyone think why such a person would participate in such an act and get away with it.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU WHENEVER SOME ONE IS STEALING THEY AUTOMATICALLY THINK A POOR PEROSN. THAT IS EVER SO TRUE.

UMM I WONDER A MIDDLE CLASS PEROSN STEALING ITS VERY UNLIKELY ISNT IT? THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THEY WANT SO NO NEED TO STEAL....
