Another thing I have learned is that it may have an effect on a person or companies finances negatively. Covering for loss of let’s say jewelry can increase home insurance premiums. This means the homeowner’s bank account suffers losses due to the raised insurance premium. So, this may cause a financial struggle for the homeowner. Now for the company it will have administration costs. It also depends on the quantity of items of a certain kind stolen and not recovered.

If let’s say someone stole 500 DVD players from a company, and the company didn’t recover those DVD players that would raise the price of the DVD players in the store. So it does have financial affects. Another thing I have learned is it has an emotional toll upon an owner of an item that had a lot of sentimental value to an item and it got stolen. They wouldn’t be able to replace it if it were a class ring. They would be devastated at the loss of the item. Clearly, stealing has many tolls on the victim. There are so many ways stealing can affect your life.

One way would be mistrust. People who may have trusted you before you stole may after the incident may have decreased, little, or no trust for you at all. That also may cause a loss of respect from people. This in turn will affect relationships. It also may cause you to spend time in jail. Depending on number or times you have committed theft and or the amount (in money) of items stolen. So your sentence will vary. Another effect of stealing is hard to put it into one word but it is from a different type of theft.

So say if you had a JC Penney’s charge card and you bought a suit and when the bill for the suit came in the mail you tore it up. That would be considered theft. Now say they didn’t have you arrested. They would tell let’s say Macy’s that you are a suit thief and Macy’s won’t allow you to purchase a suit there. Then Macy’s and JC Penny’s would tell Sears and Kohl’s about you. This would ruin your name and your ability to shop at a certain store. Stealing also may have a financial effect on the thief.

The thief may have to pay a fine or pay for administration costs if they stole from a company. Or they may have to buy the item they stole back if they sold it. It may also get you fired from a job and it will be harder to find a new job. Stealing may also cause your time to be wasted. You may get community service or something else that is time consuming for example a 5 page essay. Or if you are a child your parent(s) will punish you by grounding you or some more household chores. It defiantly isn’t worth the time and or money.
