This is called kleptomania, it is an impulse that cannot be controlled without professional assistance.

Kleptomania: Though in order to be a true kleptomaniac it has to be an impulsive, uncontrollable behavior where you steal things for the sake of stealing them and the rush you feel from stealing them; at times the objects stolen are small, worthless trinkets that have no real value to the person and are at times not even kept. This distinguishes between a person who steals solely for the rush and someone who steals for the sake of selling the merchandise or because they cannot afford the product in which case this kind of theft is motivated by financial and profit concerns not an impulse control problem..
