2.10
As the Buddha taught, taking what is not given has ten sins. What are the ten? First, the owner will become enraged. Second, grave suspicion [falls upon one]. Third, moving about at improper times without deliberation. Fourth, associating with evil persons and staying far away from the worthy and good. Fifth, destroying the marks of goodness. Sixth, incurring guilt and punishment from the authorities. Seventh, having one's property and wealth confiscated. Eighth, planting the karma of poverty. Ninth, upon death entering hell. Tenth, if one emerges as a human being, one seeks wealth through toil and hardship, only for it to be bitterly shared by the five families.
