We don't see all the circumstances of all the crimes, so records and debt payment, seem to haunt people. There have been cases on the news of people who were wrongly in prison, that were let out when DNA tests MUCH later proved their innocence, and yet they are STILL convicted felons. You also could have (much rarer, but still happens) cases where someone steals enough stuff, to make it a felony (grand larceny), and will never do it again.
Up the street from me, a late friends kid, lived. He is a TOTAL POS (can't stress enough). He had scammed his mother (she owned the house) on a constant basis. Everything from the toilet needs fixed and that costs $300+, to getting his late fathers vehicle and tools and they get "stolen", to "Mom, I took your car down to Allen's and got the oil changed, for x dollars and it also needed this." (the SHOP I worked at). Drugs were being sold out of the house as well as some other issues. The task forces (couple of different ones I know about) came in, emptied the house, and started the procedure to confiscate it. They hit a hurdle when they found out he (the scumbag) didn't own it. So they did some legal paperwork, which gave his mom 30 days to bring everything up to snuff, or she would lose the house.
She very nearly lost her mind, as well as a ton of money. Her other kids came back to town to help, and contacted the prosecutor and the police and got their help to get things turned around (the other thing police like to see that can slow any procedure against a property)
