This does not answer the question. In general, we live in a society where people do not steal from each other. Humans think of it as immoral to steal and most of us therefore choose not to steal. You could however be one of a few people who do steal. This could benefit your life and should not make the chances of something being stolen from you any higher. Why not choose to be immoral and do this.
You seem to be whittling this down to the individual's opinion or reason. I don't think you'll have your satisfactory answers until you ask this question 7 billion times.
My answer: Because I would feel guilty. I would feel bad for the victim. I'd rather feel good. I'd rather be trustworthy and surround myself with trustworthy people. That's 1 down.
