Many people breaking and entering don't get caught, if they aren't idiots. If I wanted to, I could probably break into a house steal whatever, and not get caught. I don't because such actions are immoral.

I am not saying they are innocent, or the Judicial System did wrong by arresting/incarcerating them, I just want to provide a theoretical explanation for their actions.

When people steal, it's either their lifestyle, kleptomania, or pure desperation. When people are without what they consider needs, they become desperate. For those without some frame of morality, in a situation where "needs" may not be met, the person may consider "alternative" methods. The risk probably felt like it was worth it to them, at that moment.

You would think that people would learn from others adventures in stupidy. Before you decide to break the law, stop and ask yourself one question. WITH EVERY ONE BEFORE ME GETTING CAUGHT....WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF NOT GETTING CAUGHT? If you will answer yourself honestly, you will not suffer going to jail.
