There is not one aspect of lying or stealing that is worse than the other. They are all intertwined, wrapped up into one big ugly ball; the sad part is there are usually other unhealthy character traits peppered in there as well. When people figure out you are a thief and a liar [unless they are partners] probably wont want you around. Depending on the severity, it is a reputation that can sometimes never be lived down.

Both are two sides of the same coin ! Stealing the PHYSICAL aspect where as lying is the ETHICAL(unethical!) aspect . However, the root is first the unethical 'desire' to steal, the action follows, then again the unethical continues, or rather re-enforces the act by lying. So, lying ends up as worse !

While stealing is a bad thing all by itself, and so is lying, it occurs to me that the worst would be to lie about stealing if they have video evidence of your crime. Then they can get you for perjury as well, it is never wise to add counts of anything when they are going to send you away to a cage. Best bet is to invoke your constitutional right to remain silent.

If you steal something you may have accrued something on the outside, but you will have lost something inside yourself, because you know the choices you made were not in the best of judgement. I define integrity by doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. A lie or a new piece on stolen merchandise is not worth it if you are battling sides with your conscious and trying to rationalize your actions. Not worth it, girl!

Lying. It can kill and destroy a person without you knowing. Stealing is less worse you can return what you stole.

Stealing.
Lying about stealing comes later and wouldn't happen if you didn't steal to begin with.

Lying about it. If you have the guts to steal you should have the guts to fess up.

Lying. You know what a thief is going to do...but it's hard to tell when a liar will strike.
