I don't want to steal that bad juju for our reputation,We can punch other kid just fine without take risk of stealing.
Adult somehow see stealing is bad,weird.
Dudley strikes me as the sort of person (currently) who chases after the shiny (reward) so the quests are in, boxing practice and bike riding got us lots of points so we keep doing them until they don't give us points. That's when they get boring and we drop them and that's why I've dropped homework (this time).
I want to save stealing later when Harry comeback form the freak school,so we can blame him about stealing.We're Dudley Dursley. If constantly beating up on our cousin doesn't give us bad juju, I doubt theft will.
Maybe, probably even. But I don't think there has been anything in the quest thus far that (I believe) would make Dudley think that long-term dedication to something that gives a small payoff is worth it.I think sticking to homework will net us a long-term reward, since it takes dedication.

Once he gets rewarded for dedication once I can potentially see him investing more time in things with smaller payoffs, but not currently.
We're 11, we're not going to get arrested. We'll get a talking to from the cops about why it's wrong to steal. It's 1992, if an 11 year old steals a candy bar or something it's a youthful indescretion, not the act of a hardened criminal.
Is it like that in the UK?
The 90s in the US is when everyone got really harsh and anal about children with all of that "zero tolerance" tripe. And an arrest doesn't necessarily mean prison
