"I'm first going to check if this business can afford me stealing things." -- no shoplifter. Ever.

  Ehh, I wouldn't say that. Obviously they're not checking the quarterly income reports, but I know shoplifters who steal from large chains but not from mom-and-pop stores.

    Turn them in.

      Even if I wanted - which I don't - how would I do that? It's not like they do it when I'm with them.

      This. Don't bother finding out why he was stealing or look for ways to fix society. Just throw your friend under the bus.

        I did it back in the day. Sleeping in my car, hungry, and I stole some candy bars from a grocery store. Throwing me under the bus wouldn't have been terribly productive. I knew it was wrong, but hunger is a powerful motivator. I picked a big chain on purpose. Doesn't make it right, but I did try to consider to impact of my choices. Going to jail wouldn't have made me somehow remorseful. It would have just made me bitter. I totally get the thought pattern, but living it is different than talking about it.
