This is an image of winona ryder being taken into court to be charged with shoplifting. She could afford the clothes she stole, so why would she do it?One theory could be that she did it to be in the spotlight or for the thrill. Many argue that some celebrities think that they are above the law! The reason she gave for shoplifting was that she was on medication that caused confusion, however personally i doubt it.some older people are on strong medication and are confused and you don't tend to hear about them shoplifting very often!

In my area shoplifting is often linked to drug addicts or kids. Shoplifting from the small local shop is seen to be really bad however people do not tend to be bothered too much when its from a larger organisation.However we forget that thieving no matter where from is still thieving.
