You shall not steal

Stealing is a community problem, condemned by societies throughout human history. So, this commandment is relevant for all people. In Australia, the crime statistics and the public cost of stealing and robbery is huge. It is estimated that theft and retail crime cost Australia up to $9.3 billion annually. We have a problem, but our focus is going to be on us as Christians, rather than society in general. We need to pay attention to what God is saying to us in the eighth commandment. Because this commandment is more broadly about diligence, hard work, dealing fairly with others, paying your debts, justice for the oppressed, and trusting God for provision.
