can control the desire to steal from shops .
     Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road ,Cambridge ,admitted stealing clothes worth
£9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street ,London ,on March 9.
     Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting(起诉),said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them
to the ladies' toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had
selected ,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms(防盗警报装置).

because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this."
   Judge David Azan fined Luz £ 50,  and warned : "You've got a criminal record .If you carry on like
this ,you will end up in prison ,which will ruin your bright future you may have."
