As long as you are doing something bad, it will be reveal in the public it is just a matter of time. There is what is call law of Karma, it is always going to catch up with you. Another thing is that addiction will make you act out of control to take what is good or bad. This is why I am not surprised that she was caught because she has being doing it over and over again.
Bad acts have their classification, but there is nothing uglier and lower than stealing, I think that sometimes some do not understand that stolen things bring bad things, at first the wrongdoer may enjoy, but after some time things will not be the same, everything has its way of paying and there is nothing worse that can become karma, the fact that a person justifies their addiction through theft, makes things look even worse, with the simple addiction it is something very ugly, but stealing, I think that tarnishes any activity and unfortunately that is what causes addiction.
Stealing is one thing many people frown about and it is never a good story to illustrate to others because it has a bad reputation which could tanish the image of people. I know gambling addiction can be quite risky for us but not to the extend of stealing what does not belong to you. Money that is meant for someone else is now being taken away from the person without any awareness. It is good we should always work on ourselves so we don't have to put our personality into problems. Gambling is for the strong ones not for people who do not have self control on what they should do and not to do. This is a strong we all have to learn from when it comes to gambling.
