Human interaction and personal relationships are what life is all about. Bonding with people and being in close, sharing and supportive relationships, make life worth living. Keeping strong and healthy relationships with friends and family are essential to human happiness.
Given all of the above it would seem to be a no-brainer that you wouldn't steal from your friends. As a counselor for stop theft classes I find it amazing that the majority of my students have stolen from their friends at one time or another.
The Motto
The following phrase was uttered to me by a sponsor after one of my many theft-related incidents. "Never steal from someone who trusts you, and never trust someone who steals from you."
Those are wise words to live by. One of the most basic elements of human relationships is trust. Without trust, the relationship will not survive. If a friend steals from you, will you ever feel the same way about the person again?
Don't risk losing a friend. Do not steal from them. If you have a friend who you know has a problem with theft, make sure you communicate with them. Try to get them to take a theft class online, and make sure they know that stealing from you would dissolve your bond.
