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.
It ruins their reputation, and even their family still feels the impact of those evil deeds. This is to say that addiction has nothing to do with our lives but disaster. A gambler who can control themselves leads to stealing money, and the worst thing is committing suicide.
Many instances happen like this, and I couldn't really imagine why their lives turn like this, knowing that they know what is good and what is bad. In fact, many gamblers have been gambling for many years, but they are still doing well and enjoying it.
I think we need to learn how to respond in every situation we encounter, not by letting our emotions burst.
