It kinda depends on how they handle it when things are stollen. Like will only some merchants buy stollen items like some games where we have to go to 6 miles out of way to get rid of the stuff or just the next convenient place can I unload all my stollen items that don't need/want. If i have to go clear across town to sell the stuff then back to where i was just because i was running out of inventory space due to my stolen items id be unlikely to steal much if anything at all even if its kind of thing the character im playing might normally do
