She's been ARRESTED for SHOP LIFTING THREE TIMES!!!
Is THAT reason she required so many bridal showers?
GIFT she didn't have to STEAL?
Throw her in JAIL and demand she make restitution.
Update:
She's been arrest FIVE times, three reportedly for shoplifting.
Perhaps the fourteen bridesmaids and eight bridal showers had the same purpose.
If it was attention she was after, she succeeded.
Something old, something new.
Something stolen *cough* *cough* borrowed, something blue.
Psychological Studies on Shoplifting and Kleptomania
Shoplifting is clearly a psychological issue for many people. Shoplifting for most individuals is rarely about greed or poverty. It’s about people struggling with their own personal conflicts and needs.
The single largest psychological factor found in approximately 1/3 of shoplifters studied is “depression”. This helps to explain why so many individuals steal from stores on their birthday and/or around holiday times.
The more intense form of shoplifting is classified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) as an “Impulse Disorder” known as Kleptomania. For this classification, the patient must meet the following five criteria to justify this diagnosis.
1. Recurrent failure to resist impulses to steal objects that are not for immediate use or their monetary value.
2. Increasing sense of tension before committing the act.
3. An experience of either pleasure or release at the time of committing the theft.
4. Stealing is done without long-term planning and assistance from, or collaboration with, others.
5. Not due to Conduct Disorder or Antisocial Personality Disorder.
Today, kleptomania is considered far more prevalent than originally believed.
