[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 694539, member: 20267"] You'd have to be either bat :censored2: crazy, or stupid to trust somebody who would steal from you. It is an egregious betrayal of trust. And it isn't so much about WHAT is stolen, although heirlooms are irreplaceable, but the act that hurts so much. You introduce me to an addict who claims he is not a theif, and I will introduce you to a liar. No, trust is earned. Every time it is betrayed, it is that much harder to get back. Which is how it should be. I stole from my aunt and uncle. Quite a bit. In multiple ways, even. Made up emergencies in order to get money, and actually taking :censored2: they own. Now, a year later, my aunt is just now feeling comfortable enough to leave her :censored2: lying around. She would have NEVER left out her laptop, or purse, or camera for the last few years. Not if she wanted it to be there the next morning. She is easing up, and I hate when my stealing is brought up, but that's because I am ashamed of myself for doing it. And NOT stealing from her isn't like some kind of achievement that deserves recognition or praise. We don't get praised for doing what we are obligated to do in the first place, such as not taking things from other people. Especially the people you love, and who love you more than anything in the world. [/QUOTE]
