Book recommendations- I need some books were the main character has kleptomania?

It's were somebody takes things for no real reason, they just see something and take it, sometimes without even noticing. They don't even think about it. I need books were the main character or his/her friend or family member does this. Thanks!

    Klepto by Jenny Pollack

    http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1954008.Klepto

    Julie Braverman is the coolest person Julie Prodsky has ever met. During their freshman year (1981-1982) at the High School of Performing Arts in New York City, the previously unexplored world of flirting, freedom, and fashion is revealed to Julie P. through the eyes of her new best friend. Learning the secret to Julie B.'s collection of Fiorucci jeans—shoplifting — only makes Julie P. admire her more. Before long Julie P. has her own closet full of stolen clothing, and a new boyfriend. Then Julie P.'s conscience catches up with her. She wants to stop shoplifting, but Julie B. doesn't.Without stealing, can this friendship survive?

    Taking It by Michael Cadnum

    Seventeen-year-old Anna Charles, who has turned shoplifting into an art form and a way to vent frustration, feels her confidence crumbling when she begins finding things she does not remember stealing.

    I remember reading the book Artemis Fowl as a kid and I'm pretty sure one of the characters in it was a klepto. He wasn't a main character, but he liked to steal things that were pretty or shiny. That's all I can remember.
