Many reasons causes this phenomena. I think the most important one is system of value internalized by the thief. Thieves are materialists, and they are not able to choose the appropriate means for their goals. Also, many of them are trying to rationalize their behavior with highlighting of the fact that almost 100% of so called rich people are, actually, exploiters of their employees. Like Robin Hood, they "steal from rich"...
Best regards!

some part of it may have to do with being poor all your life, or low moral values. But what makes more sense is that some steal because they do not have or understand the value of gratification and especially delayed gratification. Why do I say this? It's because delayed gratification has certain quality to it and it's worth your while and effort when a person understand the meaning of this. The people that steal can't wait to get things until they can afford to get it. I'ts like I got to have this or that now. So as the consequence of their uncontrollable behavior, they take things even before they deserve it. So they steal.

poverty and drug related poverty.. If they had money they wouldn't steal... but then you get rich ppl that can afford to buy anything they want and still steal.. but that is more about the rush of doing something wrong.. or mabe getting caught.

some people may steal because they want something you have and are ashamed to ask for it. that don't change the fact that stealing and coveting is wrong.

Many reasons --
1) feel as though they have to because they cannot get it by any other means,
2) lack of fear of being caught
3) thrill of doing something bad
4) air of superiority
5) lack of respect
6) they've got the gun, what else is there to do?
just to name a few...

Because people wish to have what they normally wouldn't. People wish to defy society and get away with it. They want to have a sense of fulfillment on their own terms.

Satan is blinding the minds of the unbelievers and making them think they need what does not belong to them.
