Have you every been the victim of a mugging, theft, or had someone break into your home? On the one hand, they are only "things." Yet, on the other, it is an incredibly violating experience. One that can leave anger, distrust and fear in its wake.

In what ways have we all been guilty of theft? And what does it look like to live a life that does "not steal"?
