Wonderful Word Wednesday: Kleptomania

It’s Wonderful Wednesdays again and I have one of my favorite words here! 
I also heard this one in a video game around ten years ago for the first time … Proof they can be educational! lol
kleptomania
noun
1.) an irresistible impulse to steal, stemming from emotional disturbance rather than economic need.
Example Sentence: Ashlyn has kleptomania.
I thought about picking some cliche thief picture, but I decided Skyrim is cooler.
And no this isn’t the game I learned the word from, but you can easily become a kleptomaniac lol.

Have you seen or used this word before? What do you think of it?
