He turned thief to acquire a bunch of materials to make himself feel secure. He stockpiled food, fuel, generators, weapons. He stole enough that he had to cash in the equity on the house he'd owned for close to 20 years to repay and keep his ass out of jail. He was damn lucky that his victims settled for restitution, rather than prosecution. This is just the part I have specific knowledge about.
Gullibility and fear can cause one to do some crazy things. l cringe every time some "fear-monger" starts making predictions about natural disasters, terrorist attacks or some other impending dire event. It's impossible to predict what message might trigger the survival instinct in an otherwise stable person.
