Am I the only one that read the title as the innovator was actually a shoplifter but they made a life decision to stop and instead invent an anti-theft device?

Was he doing research for his invention, is this just a ploy to help him steal more down the track from his own devices, was he visited by 3 ghosts during the night just before Christmas and have a change of heart?
