An imposed disad isn't 'free character points'.

If I impose a disad on a character I'm fine with the character doing everything they can to avoid having it trigger, without expecting them to (eventually) buy it off.

But ex-street thief guy with Kleptomania (CR:15)? If they always roll, then yes eventually they need to buy it off. Eventually.
