Shoplifting or stealing may not be an affordability issue to some shoplifters. I am friend of an older lady, super wealthy, owns two Bugattis amongst other toys, but she has some bad habits. Just saying.
I agree. Shoplifting isn't necessarily driven by an economic need. Most people steal because they think that they can get away with it, not because they're desperate.
As far as this story about Carter goes, it's an eyebrow raiser. Given all the character concerns about him, it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. The shoe sure seems to fit, doesn't it?
And yeah, I, too, am glad that we didn't draft him, especially with the way Witherspoon is turning out.
