It first appeared sometime in the 19th century when it was noticed that many rich and noble people were stealing things they did not need or could afford to buy. Many people mistakenly call a shoplifter a kleptomaniac, but there is a difference between a petty thief and a kleptomaniac."More papers on Kleptomania:
