That's how an infamous book thief financed his lifestyle while he wasn't casing stores and shoplifting valuable old tomes. He worked part-time in an upscale clothing store and wrote the credit cards down. Someone wrote a book about him: "Rare-book theft is even more widespread than fine-art theft. Most thieves, of course, steal for profit. John Charles Gilkey steals purely for the love of books. In an attempt to understand him better, journalist Allison Hoover Bartlett plunged herself into the world of book lust and discovered just how dangerous it can be." https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Loved-Books-Much/dp/1594484813 <https://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Loved-Books-Much/dp/1594484813> If you don't have time for the book check out this talk by the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPknmLx8xcQ <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPknmLx8xcQ> Amazing.
