Shoplifting is the act of stealing goods from a shop, typically without using force or intimidation. People who shoplift are known as shoplifters. Shoplifting is a crime in most countries and can result in fines or imprisonment. However, some shoplifters are willing to reveal themselves to the authorities and explain why they shoplift.
There are many reasons why people shoplift. Some people shoplift because they are poor and cannot afford to buy the things they need. Others shoplift because they are addicted to the thrill of stealing. Still others shoplift because they have a mental illness that compels them to steal.
