While I was in school, one of my collection of odd jobs was working in a book store. We had one young lady who stole quite a few books before she was caught. A mystery addict. Sadly, she was also one of our better customers but when we realized she was doing a "buy two, steal one" pattern, we had to ask her not to shop there anymore. As a small independent bookstore, the owner couldn't afford much shrinkage.
