Biff steals because from a young age, Biff was not taught the difference between right and wrong or allusion versus reality. He was taught that it was okay to steal as long as success comes from the stealing. For example, when Biff stole the football from his coach, his father simply laughed and said, "Sure, he's gotta practice with a regulation ball, doesn't he? Coach'll probably congratulate you on the initiative." Thus, Willy was showing Biff that it was okay to steal as long as success came from it. Another time, when Willy showed to Biff that it was okay to steal/cheat was when Bernard was trying to get Biff to study and Willy simply said "Bernard: Where is he? If he doesn't study! Willy: You'll give him the answers!" This is another incident when Willy shows Biff that it is okay to cheat if it leads to success. Biff also feels as though the world owes him something, so when the people around him do not give him what he's owed, he steals from them to punish them in a passive aggressive manor.
