I know, I know you all are going to say "Are you crazy what does it matter what her other qualities are she's a borderline kleptomaniac!" but I don't think it's that simple. .
You are right... it isn't that simple. If you care for her, try to get her to admit and accept the problem. It is easier said than done. However it will lead into discussions to get her some professional help. No doubt, it will be an issue in the long term. If you two take the relationship further, it will progressively be difficult to "live with".
Me and my friends used to steal a lot. I stole up until I was 22 then I grew up. One of my friends didnt stop and got caught. It was on her record and it hurt her when she went to get jobs.
Were talking about a 28 yr old woman who has no ethic or value system, but she only steals from others just not you. She sounds like a kleptomaniac and they usually end up caught at some point in time. If you want to sit on pins and needles waiting for that phone call then that's your choice but it might come at an inconvenient time and cost you money. She actually needs therapy to determine why she is doing this . Hopefully there's nothing else she's doing that you don't know yet. Sure wouldn't put a ring on it as your buying trouble for yourself. Am also finding it hard believing either one of you is 28.

]This is actually probably an addiction. She most likely gets a high (adrenalin rush) out of stealing.[/b] Perhaps it started because of her unfortunate childhood, who knows. But at this stage, it sounds like an addition. (Note: I am a random person on the internet, just my thoughts)
In any case, it sounds like she needs some serious therapy. Whether she wants help and you want to stick with her through it, is another story.
Yes. The incident where she offered to pay for their restaurant meal, then ran out, was indicative of this. She likes to see what she can get away with, how far she can push the envelope. It's turned into a sport.
