上億身價貴婦週年慶行竊　身上單品超過行竊價值

更新日期:2008/10/12 12:42 社會中心／綜合報導

台北市刑警大隊肅竊組10日在週年慶中逮捕一名中年婦人，她涉嫌先後在SOGO及新光三越瘋狂行竊15個專櫃的商品，被偷物品多達20件，市值約5萬，但是警方事後追查，發現婦人身上的衣著就已經超過偷竊價值，還有上億的身價，卻有如此舉動，令人匪夷所思。


一名貴婦在10日當天下午，利用百貨公司週年慶店員比較忙碌的空隙，先在台北SOGO南西店行竊，之後還「轉戰」新光三越南西店，從一樓專櫃開始行竊，殊不知她早已被警方跟監，等到婦人偷得心滿意足準備離開的同時，警方隨即上前將她逮捕歸案。


取出婦人所偷竊的物品，包括風衣、名牌手提包、唇膏、香水、洋裝、線衫等，零零總總加起來有20樣，警方調查，婦人行竊商品從最貴市價9290元的風衣，到100元的水壺都不放過，總共行竊超過5萬元。

只是，這名貴婦在接受警方偵訊時，還不斷的秀出身上的名錶和18萬元現金，連身上穿著的行頭隨便一樣都超過行竊價值，雖然擁有上億的身價，但是警方依現場監控的相關事證，還是依法將其逮捕移送法辦。(新聞來源：東森新聞記者曾柏凱、吳健宏)

Kleptomania (impulsive stealing)



People with Kleptomania usually do not steal because they need the object stolen; they sometimes secretly replace the object after stealing it. They steal "for the thrill of stealing," and they don't want to get caught at it. To be diagnosed, a person must have the typical pattern: recurrent tension leading to the behavior, leading to relief or pleasure after performing the behavior. The stealing is not accounted for by an external motive like hunger or financial deprivation or vengeance, or accounted for better by another disorder of which stealing is a part (for example, Antisocial Personality Disorder or a manic episode). Kleptomania is rare overall, but more common in females than in males. It is obviously difficult to document the precise number of people with Kleptomania. People with Kleptomania often have another psychiatric disorder, often a mood disorder. Treatment is largely untested, and the disorder often persists despite many convictions of shoplifting. It may decrease as the individual ages, however.
