[11:18.49]Three types, I would say.
[11:20.51]I:Tell me more about these three types.
[11:22.88]D:Well... uh... people in the first type are what I call "the sudden impulse type".
[11:29.00]Doctors and psychologists call such people kleptomaniacs.
[11:33.54]They see something and just can't... uh... help stealing it.
[11:37.86]The strange thing about this first type is that the people in it are often well off and could easily afford to buy the thing.
[11:46.50]Sometimes they don't even need it... and often they're emotionally disturbed in some way... middle-aged women,
[11:53.52]for example, whose husbands have left them, or perhaps older men whose wives have recently died.
[11:59.96]I:What about the second type?
[12:01.76]D:Well, those are people who are really... uh... "little thieves".
[12:06.52]They work alone, and know exactly what they want before they go into the store.
[12:12.02]These days a lot of them, but by no means all, are teenagers who steal things they can't afford.
[12:19.04]Leather jackets. Watches. Expensive cosmetics. Things like that.
[12:23.83]I:And the third type? What kind of people do you find in the third type?
[12:28.19]D:Ah, yes, they're what I call "the experts".
[12:32.72]I:Why?
[12:33.77]D:Well, first of all, because they're highly organized.
[12:37.73]And secondly because they do it for a living.
[12:41.44]They usually operate in groups of three or sometimes four, and they're extremely difficult to catch.
[12:49.14]I:Can they make a lot of money that way?
[12:51.26]D:Oh, yes. Yes, they're very well off, believe me... much better off than a store detective... or even a journalist!  (274 words)
