Kleptomaniac

Kleptomaniac is a lifestyle trait in The Sims 3.

''Kleptomaniacs 'accidentally' end up with things owned by others. They often 'permanently borrow' items from work, school or even their neighbor's homes!''

Attributes

 * Throughout life, this Sim will be prone to swipe others' things. It's genetic!
 * Sim can return stolen objects to their rightful owners via the mailbox, resulting in a positive 'Returned Stolen Object' moodlet.
 * Provides a bonus to Sims writing in the Auto-Biography genre.

Player Notes

 * Kleptomaniacs can only swipe three items per day.
 * If a Sim is caught swiping an object, they will be kicked out immediately.
 * Sim can swipe items between 7pm and 6am.
 * Sim can swipe any (movable) object, no matter how big.
 * You can click the Swipe Items interaction close to something and your Sim might steal the intended object.
 * You can steal from a community lot, only a night though. (Rabbit holes?)

Other notes

 * Always click very close to the object you want to rob, because sometimes, if you click in the general area of the expensive car you want to sell to make money, the kleptomaniac sim will instead rob the cheap lamp that was  directly underneath the spot you clicked on , wasting one of the three opportunities.
 * If a sim should should take a guitar out of thier inventory and drop it on someone elses lot (Through a serenade perhaps), it does not appear to be recoverable through dragging and dropping or kleptomania. (Probably needs verification)
 * Because you can swipe three objects per day, you can swipe three objects after 7pm but before 12pm and then swipe three more after 12pm but before 6am.

Possible Lifetime Wishes

 * Become a Master Thief
 * Possession is Nine Tenths of the Law
