That's probably correct. When someone that can obviously afford almost anything they want steals it's because they like the rush they get from it. I knew a girl like that in high school.

I would think after he became a well known athlete he would have stopped just in case he was ever caught. It's obviously going to hurt his image and career even if only temporarily.

Perhaps.

It looks like Leake might not be a thief, just a giant idiot. Not sure if this is true or not but it would be great if it came out that he's just a dumbass and not a criminal.

People try to do that crap all the time where I work. They don't want to prick with going to the registers so they ask if they can just put the stuff they have back and pick up the sizes that they need. Obviously they can't, it just doesn't work that way for a few reasons.

Hopefully this is the case with Leake. I'd much rather have an idiot than a thief. However, I'm sure he'll have to present the receipt from the previous transaction, if he hasn't already. If he's lost the receipt, hopefully he paid credit/debit for the shirts previously.
