Moral of the story - regardless of age, stealing is a punishable offence.

67 years old already still want to steal. Should seek help instead.

Seek help from who? Mp? Family? If one is not desperate, why do such deed?

Moral of the story - if it is for financial needs, seek help from family, MP etc

if it is for non financial needs, seek psychologist or psychiatrist or counselling help.
