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? You tell me. I can't think of *anything* we've seen so far in s8 that would necessitate her stealing. I've said since the beginning that all the hi-tech equipment is unnecessary, and if she is stealing to fund it, then that makes it twice so. What we lack is this:
ANGEL: Cordy...there are reasons I agreed to take over Wolfram & Hart, reasons you don't understand. CORDELIA: (stands, indignant) I understand just fine. They seduced you with all their fancy facilities, manpower. They threw a whole bunch of money at you, plied you with all these expensive toys and penthouses with spectacular views, and— (looks out his window, admiring the view) really spectacular. (to Angel) What was I saying? ANGEL: I've been seduced. CORDELIA: That's right, pal. They dazzled you with shiny objects and beautiful things and— There is no reason you could give me— ANGEL: Connor.
Bring on the 'Connor' of s8 and I'll eat all my nasty words. Until then... *shrugs*
