In Buffy's case we know nothing about the circumstances of the bank robbery. She may be doing it because it's the only way to save the world. Or because she wants to buy a castle and have fun. Or because the wants to rule the world a-la Austin Powers.
I don't want to go on about this because I'm afraid it'll get boring, but I must say one thing:
You list several possible motivations for a random person to engage in theft, yes. But how many of them are possibly motives for the character of Buffy that we've seen developed over seven and a half years to engage in theft? Really?
To me, the answer is so screamingly obvious that the only questions I have are under what circumstances did Buffy come to the conclusion that theft was the only way to save the world; and do her friends and colleagues agree with her or will this cause a rift between them; and what will her guilty consciuence drive her to do next?
