"Let's go get sushi and not pay." -- Repo Man, 1984.

That's into the absurdist territory, but it reflects the real pattern of behavior. People do go around committing petty crimes for various reasons.

There is a large amount of people who go around stealing bikes for fun and some cash; and often "street cred" or something akin to that.

nobody steals bikes to buy milk for their baby either.
