It's the wrong way to do it, but when push comes to shove, thigns happen.
While this is really true, I do think there are people that steal just to make a profit and make a living off it and making EXTRA money off it.

A girl I knew but wasn't close to in High School was involved in robbing several condos in the area. We wondered where she always got all the money she had because she never had a job! I guess that was her job. She got caught, that's how we all found out. She definitely didn't need it for living expenses. She lived with her parents in a nice house in our area.
