    Chapter 1: Petit Larceny/Shoplifting, NSF Check Fraud Awareness, Theft Prevention

    • How much is your life worth? How much would you have to steal to finally feel satisfied or to make life fair? You CAN live the life you want to live. Shoplifting is living in lack consciousness and you can change that.

    • Larceny is defined in Virginia as the wrongful taking of the goods of another without the owner's consent and with the intention to permanently deprive the owner of possession of the goods. The most common type of petit larceny is basic shoplifting.

    • When shoplifting is prosecuted in New York State, it is usually written up as a violation of the statue for “Petit Larceny,” or “PL 155.25.” Petit Larceny is a misdemeanor in The State of New York and is punishable by up to one year in jail.

    • Nevada law defines petit larceny as the intentional taking of another person’s property (without permission) when the value of the items is less than $1,200.00. If the stolen property is valued at $1,200.00 or more, the offense would be grand larceny.

    • What is an addiction? What is the difference between addiction and a bad habit? What happens in the brain of an addict? What is involved in healing the addicted brain and the addicted person?

    • If you put a frog in a pot of cool water and you heat the water gradually to boiling, the frog will stay in the water and die. It doesn’t react because of the gradual change to the water’s temperature. Get out now while the water is still warm.

    • Lack Consciousness is the misconception that the universe is limited. Most people live with this feeling in some form. Some experience it with money. Some with food. Others with love but it can affect anything.

    Chapter 3: Petit Larceny (Shoplifting/theft) and the Law

    • Petty larceny is the crime of theft of another's property or money under a statutorily defined value, in which the value is below the grand larceny limit. Some states divide larceny into the categories of felony and misdemeanor.

    • Petty theft is a specific type of theft crime that is based on the relatively low value of the stolen property. Most states will divide theft laws into two general categories: grand theft and petty theft.

    • After a conviction for larceny (also called theft, depending on the state), the trial concludes with the sentencing phase to determine penalties and conditions of the conviction. At sentencing, a number of factors come into play to determine the penalty.

    Chapter 5: Why do good people steal? Understanding Theft

    • The biggest difference between stealing and kleptomania is that kleptomania is a mental health disorder. Stealing is conscious, planned and an organized crime to gain monetary or material possessions. Kleptomania is impulsive and not for financial gain.

    • So she steals out of a need for excitement, for the thrill of it. One wonders if the large thefts of money in the stock market—insider trading by people who probably already have large amounts of money—are motivated by thinking of this kind.

    • When offenders are held accountable they offer explanations, but their after-the-fact statements are usually intended to gain sympathy and minimize culpability. They focus on people and circumstances outside themselves.

    Chapter 6: The Psychology of Theft and Stealing

    • What makes someone more likely to steal and feel justified in doing so? Is not having food ample justification for stealing food? Does not having enough money to pay the bills make stealing money seem morally acceptable?

    • Kleptomania is the recurrent inability to resist urges to steal items that you generally don't really need and that usually have little value. Kleptomania is a rare but serious mental health disorder that can cause emotional pain if not treated.

    Chapter 8: The Behavior Modification of Long Lasting Behavior Change

    • We adjust our behavior based on feedback we receive from others. Joking around with our significant other after a long and hard day at work will be perceived differently than a day in which he/she received an exemplary performance evaluation.

    • To study the world around us you must wonder about it. This inquisitive nature is the hallmark of critical thinking, or our ability to assess claims made by others and make objective judgments that are independent of emotion and based on hard facts.

    • “In change, timing is everything” and nine processes are involved. A few of interest are countering in which we substitute healthy responses for unhealthy ones, helping relationships or asking for help from loved ones so you don’t have to go it alone.
