It's the most convenient cash cow, at the moment and the people are also the most likely to not involve the Police, if and when they catch her. She knows this. She may be seriously troubled/disturbed, but she is not stupid.

Heroin addicts steal, especially young and unskilled addicts. Because I know this, does it mean I have a responsibility to follow her 24/7 and make anyone she comes in contact with aware that she will steal, con, borrow or manipulate money or something that can be sold for money? Where exactly does the responsibility end? Does it ever end? Should it end?

I just don't know. I appreciate the all the feedback.
