That is a good question, Ive never understood it myself. Just watch the man, he is insane. Groucho Marx described himself as a pan of oil cooking popcorn kernels, occasionally a joke would pop out. Robin Williams is a pot of oil that someone just dropped a frozen turkey into and burned their house down. I know a gaffer who was rigging up chinaballs for a shoot and Robin watched him do it for a couple days then stopped production to go on a 45 minute rant about chinaballs. Anyone who can do that has no reason to steal.

Also, who said Leary is a thief? Never heard that one.
He's been known to have ripped off Bill Hicks, who I am a big fan of. RIP

Here's a wiki article that covers it:

That was exactly what I was thinking... which Cody was his son named after?
