This doesn't just happen in the adult industry. One of my illustrious jobs in the 90's before I headed into adult was working for a business manager whose clients were all models, models whose names or faces nearly anyone would recognize. Sometimes in their contracts, they would be entitled to keep something from the wardrobe for the shoot. One time a model who wasn't contractually entitled to keep anything from the shoot, took a $50K dress and then when the theft was discovered, didn't want to return the dress, but under pressure finally did.
The thievery of these well paid models was a running joke. That they took props as "mementos", stripped hotel rooms of anything that could be shoved into their luggage... One model lifted a large number of private car vouchers with a client's account number on them (to use instead of taking taxis in NYC). And used them until that was discovered. Another was using a client's lifted Fed Ex account number till that was discovered. No one was going to stop booking them because of their thievery. The general consensus was that the models just felt they were entitled.
