These are nothing more than status symbols which have marketed to this class of people.

They steal these status symbols to boost their self esteem because it is tied to the image of the success which unfortunately most need to acquire from the outside rather than have inside themselves.

Thus the need to wear the right shoes, clothing, baseball cap, and so forth.

The killing will only get worse as the economy becomes worse and those items to steal become less and less available to the thieves. This is a trajectory that can not be stopped now that it is set in motion so WATCH OUT!
