People who are desperate steal things that are expensive and provide them some reprieve from their situation. You don't see too many heroine users among the upper crust.
It's wild how people who people who've never experienced being poor don't get economics of it. You don't steal food, that's stupid because the risk/reward is terrible, when your phone breaks you steal the iPhone because that takes $1000 off your budget.
I tried to bake that idea into the phrasing but it clearly didn't land.
