Or, perhaps, just simply stop talking out their rear ends.
Well, I worked doing drug abuse programs with police for five years, granted that was in the 80s, but what was true then, is even truer with meth addicts, there comes a point where they cannot earn enough money legally to support their addiction. They have to resort to theft, or other crime to support their addiction.
They shoplift quite often, or run return scams. My wife is a manager at Lowes, on a daily basis people try to scam their returns. They find receipt in the parking lot, then go into the store, get the item listed on the receipt, and try to return it. The items are usually high ticket items like power tools, power washers, and the like.
Oh, and in my area, they steal bikes, and post them for sale on craigslist.
