[edit] Miniature toy cars

Is this example really common or relevant? Seems like a strange thing to mention. Whirling 21:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In Pop Culture

Can this section be deleted? It seems ridiculous to me, and devalues the article. How many readers coming to this page want to know about Family Guy, The Office, Buffy, etc.? --Auximines 19:16, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, if kleptomania is a frequent topic of pop culture, why not? Pop culture references the way a society views a topic. To remove it would be unnecessary, and would, in fact, 'devalue' the article more than it's inclusion. Ghostwo 22:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

FreshPrince season 01 episode 09... watching it right now. The arresting officer was the guy that played Tuvok on Voyager.

[edit] See Also

In the See Also section, the link to Psycology was changed to Svend Robinson, who does seem to be a Kleptomaniac; however, it is not specificly mentioned in the article that he is one, and I don't see what makes this case so special that it is singled out. Seeing that this guy is a Living Person, and how I can't see a good link from this article to that guy, directly and specificly, I am removing the link. I shall replace it with something else, and it can be changed back or to something else if it is not liked. SadanYagci 00:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] unique definition

Where would the best place to put the following definition:

Kleptomaniac: a person who can't help himself from helping himself.

I am relatively new, yet I feel this would be useful, and don't know where to put it, and how to format it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.183.251.161 (talk) 06:09, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
