Anecdotally, I had a Hispanic friend once who had been a professional thief (not when I knew him but before). His grandfather had won the lottery so he had a guaranteed income, but he did it for fun and because that’s what the cool people did.
Growing up in a rural area with literally nothing fun to do except sit at home and play games basically, me and my friends didn't shoplift and do other shitty stuff because we couldn't afford it or to earn money, but because we were bored and looking for any type of excitement. I'm sure we aren't alone in that.
