What would you do if your friend regulary shoplifts?
If he/she is your best friend, you don't approve the behavior. How do you stop him/her?

Firstly I would talk to them and tell them this is not right. I would tell them as many times as necessary, hoping they would listen to me. If they didn't, I don't know what I would do, I would have to find myself in that situation, but I don't think I would do anything, like for instance calling the cops. No, I wouldn't. But my relationship with my friend would probably end or at least take a break until they changed they shoplifting habit.

YES, I thought to take a break is a good way for both side and follow the situation developed.Dixie wrote:Firstly I would talk to them and tell them this is not right.

Don't really care. It's their business. Who am I to judge when I shoplifted before?ysteve wrote:If he/she is your best friend, you don't approve the behavior. How do you stop him/her?

Student. Not much money. Liked everything in the mall. You know.... I just didn't wanna pay 20-30 dollars for a pair of sunglasses or a thin shirt. Or I just didn't wanna spend couple bucks for something I only wanted to sample it. Et cetera.TearHere wrote:really? lennyetran shoplifted before??.. just curious..what made you do it?LennyeTran wrote: Don't really care. It's their business.

The best way to do it? Cure that kleptomania. Ask some advice from a psychologist, if not, a psychiatrist.
Wikipedia puts it:
"Kleptomania has several different treatments. Behavior modification therapy and family therapy may be used to treat kleptomaniacs.
Some medications that are used for people diagnosed with kleptomania are fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, sertraline, lithium, trazodone and Valproate."
What do you think? Killing is not absolutely the cure. :D
