One time like last year this girl stole another girls necklace from her locker in the girls' locker room and she was already shady enough and everytime someone asked her where she got it she'll say "forever 21" or "hot topic" and the AP(assistant principal) for our grade pulled up a video of her stealing it the AP got fired because A VIDEO CAMERA in A LOCKER ROOM(child porn) she got fired, I think arrested too turns out she had it in the girls bathroom too, which I'm pretty sure all schools do but they can't put them in restrooms/locker rooms

Some people just think they are entitled to steal what they can. It is a disgusting attitude.

While others do it to survive. (Not justifying stealing here, but some people really are that desperate, and others are just selfish)
