As part of her sentence for having stolen a $2,500 necklace from a high-end jewelry store, Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to take a shoplifting-alternative class to learn how not to steal. Barbara Staib, director of communications at the National Association of Shoplifting Prevention, explained to E!Online that thieves often feel a sense of entitlement, adding,”[Lindsay] would have to figure out why she thinks this way, why she thinks the rules don’t apply to her.” Staib outlined what shoplifters learn in the classes. “The classes we run are designed to help people if they are truly petty theft offenders, not professional shoplifters or people who shoplift to support a drug habit,” Staib said. “They’re shoplifting because of something going on with their lives, or something they perceive to be missing from their lives. In most cases, [offenders] view the stores as a big corporate entities with millions of billions of dollars. But you’re also hurting individuals. People who work at these stores could lose their jobs because of your actions.”
