"The problem with theft is that the difference between getting away with it and getting caught is universally huge. If you get away with it, you feel so onmipotent, so clearly superior to everyone else milling around being so good that it all seems worth it. If you get caught, you shrivel up and die inside, looking back on the unspeakable stupidity of what you've done, wishing only that you could return to that moment of decision and choose not to steal."
Robert Llewellyn in his book "Thin He was and Filthy-haired"
