Is this true? I know of a couple of people who have served prison sentences for petty crimes like stealing money,chicken ,and other stuff that they can lay their hands on.Now they are trying to look for jobs and try to reform themselves but sadly no one seems to give them a second chance.I got one of them to do some garden work and he was feeling miserable because of the way others look at him full of suspicion.
I wonder whether this is the right attitude ? or are other people justified to a certain extent in being suspicious about them and their motives ?

Stealing whether it is done for fun or for helping others is still a crime and it cannot be overlooked nor justified...Many celebrities who are well off flick things from departmental stores, small stuff like lipstick,foundation etc..., this is called Kleptomania , why they do it is not clear since they can very well afford to pay for them...
I have heard about a mental problem stealing small things from shops, normal people including kids. Is it Kleptomania or something else?
Correct. This is kleptomania. stealing is also a mental perversion- a psychological trait. Obviously, such 'thieves' are for ever. .
Not necessarily, at least in some cases some celebrities after being caught take shelter behind this just to save their faces.It has happened with Indian celebrities also some Hollywood stars...once caught and exposed they seem to reform themselves though..

The celebrities are not expected to steal small things like spoons. This is definitely a mental perversion.

Yes I am it is, they dont need to do that, since they are earning such huge incomes.Normally the habit of stealing comes with monetary deprivation..
Everybody is not so pure in the world. All did mistakes that is only human nature. some may did mistakes by their deeds and some may did in thinking also.
So Time is the better medicine to change everything.
Innocent person will always try to change his life. He will think about good and prosperous life. A bad person who has tendency will always think about mischief and do wrong to others and himself. They can never change. Actually they don't want to change instead they will change others staying nearby him. That's how they form a gang and become a gangster.
Of course if a person falls into bad company it may be difficult to expect any positive changes in him/her.It all depends on the circumstances under which they committed their first offence whether it was out of necessity,desperation or just to have fun and excitement.The second category may never change and go on with it..

It depends entirely on what kind of environment is provided to them.If they are forced to be in the company of criminals simply because the society is not ready to accept them, then it is likely that they would become even worse and go back to their old bad ways...However, the society,family and the kind of rehabilitation that is given has a lot to do with how a person with criminal background shapes up..
Situation can change anything-agood person my be thief and a thief can be a good person.
That may happen under certain circumstances only.Once a person has developed certain characteristics it is to be expected that he or she may not change that easily unless there is a lot of stress and the circumstances are totally against one , that drives you to steal or take part in some criminal activity...

I agree. Nobody changes his character easily. It is easier to covert from saint to thief than from thief to saint. That is why police maintain a list of history sheeters (Dus numbari).

First of all my heartfelt congrats for being a good Samaritan.
Once thief need not be a thief always. You can see our parliament
Absolutely not... It is a bit cruel to blindly accuse a person like that. Once a thief, may not be a thief thereafter... People do change for good; there are good people who turn bad and bad ones that turn good... It's all part of life.. The above statement may be rectified as "Once a thief, always considered a thief." Very few people will be willing to trust a person who once stole... Human nature...

Hi Faheem, welcome to Boddunan :)

Faheem Ibrahim,
Warm Welcome to Boddunan Family. All the Best!
We cant say blindly 'Once a thief always a thief'. Forgiving is humankind. It depends on mindset of a person. Some person won't do mistake again if he/she realizes.
