What kind of things did Yosemite Sam do that the Bible would say is wrong?

Look at the following verse:
Leviticus 19:11
You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.

Yosemite Sam Broke all these Biblical rules.

Now look at another verse
1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Discuss

Having money and things is not bad…until you put them above God as a priority. When you love money more then God, there is a problem.

If you put acquiring money/things above serving God. You might become a person that…
Is Greedy.
Lies to get what you want.
Uses people to get what you want.
Cheats people.
Steals from people.

All these thing can lead to a difficult life for you.

Always put God first and he will provide you with everything you need.

This is a general lesson idea, add your own twist.
