People don't need to watch as much - There are cameras now and electronic tags...

As a kid it was more of a game. As an adult it was about survival.

Stealing from individual people though, is slightly different I think.

Wow those are all things I would not have guessed of you. Very telling indeed. I'm surprised that you almost condone stealing from a store versus a person - whats the difference again?
