	Description: You steal compulsively. The items you steal are rarely valuable, and if they are, it’s completely accidental. You simply <strong>do not</strong> steal for profit. In fact, you are not even aware that you steal things. Rather, you are frequently surprised to find in your possession items that belong to other people, and don’t know how they got there. You never plan the thefts; they are always “targets of opportunity”. Fortunately, since the things you steal have such little value, the owner is unlikely to immediately notice they are missing. Also, the chance of the theft being noticed is very small unless you are under careful observation. Even if the theft is observed, the person who sees you may not even care. Exceptionally honest kleptomaniacs may return the items to the people they belong to (if they know). Most simply leave them somewhere reasonably public where the rightful owner may find them.		\|Cost:
	~~Detriment~~: Once per week the GM makes a Will roll (TN=4) for you. If you do not achieve a number of Ss equal to or greater than your Kleptomania level, you fail the roll.
