    Kleptomania is defined by a consistent tendency to steal items not needed for


    personal use. The objects are stolen despite that they are typically of little value
    to the individual, who could have afforded to pay for them and often gives them
    away or discards them. The stealing is not done to express anger, or in response
    to a delusion or hallucination, and is not attributed to conduct disorder. These
    patients have an irresistible inclination to steal. These episodes of stealing seem
    to occur unexpectedly, without planning.

    routine interfere with the job?
