Have YOU ever stolen anything?

So have you???


When I was 7 I stole a package of stickers from the grocery store. My grandmother found out and was going to make me take them back to the manager, but when I freaked out crying she just threw them away and told me you better hope the cops don't come!

I learned my lesson however, for the next 6 months or so whenever I would hear or see a police officer/siren I would have mini panic attacks thinking they had come for me!



So that's my story......whats yours?

When I was a freshman in high school, I had this "friend" who was a real user and abuser. I had loaned her something like, $2 for a Coke and a bag of chips or something, and she promised to pay me back. Days turned to weeks, and I knew I was never seeing my $2 again.

One day, I saw her putting a bunch of money into her locker. So, during Biology or something, I went to the "bathroom", broke into her locker and stole $5 from her locker. Interest!!!

When I was about 10, we used to live near a soda bottling factory. A couple of times my brother and I would find a way to sneak in (often involving climbing over high walls, scaling long ladders, or jumping from 2nd stories), and snatch a bottle of soda. We did it more for the challenge of it, than the actual soda (the soda wasn't even that good).
I don't think I would have done it, if I wasn't trying to impress my older brother.

When I was 7 or 8 I stole a gummy hamburger (you know, a little package with the bun and the toppings in gummy candy) from the drug store. It was worth all of $0.25, I think. I felt terrible guilt over it and threw it away. Years later, as a teenager, I confessed my crime to my mother who laughed at me and said if that's the worst I had to confess she felt pretty good as a parent.

When I was 7 I stole a plastic ring, I was marched back to the store with the ring & an apology. Never did it again.

I was about 7 when I took a candy bar (chocolate even then ).
Mother found out and made me go back, pay for it and apoligise.

This was the way my parents handled it as well. I don't even remember now what I took. Couldn't have been worth more than a quarter or two. Never did it again.

Yeah about 2 months ago. I bought a purse at a gift shop in WDW, handed the cashier my card - she asked if she could take the tags off for me, i said yes.. She took the tags off, handed me my card and purse. The next day we were packing to go home and I couldn't find my receipt for the purse. I thought hmmm that's odd, I saved all my receipts, I figured it was in one of the suitcases....no big deal. Well, it's October and I still haven't been charged for it. I feel like a Disney fugitive. I can't even enjoy this purse now.

I made my daughter do the same thing when I found out she walked out of Target with something we didn't pay for. I think she learned her lesson.

Sorry this is off topic, but....OP, everytime I see your screen name written in little letters when I'm scrolling through the listing of threads, I read it as PORNlover. I'm sorry. I either have to get to the eye doctor or get my mind out of the gutter-not sure which.

If you had been raised by my parents, you would already know the answer..LOL

No..

 

[Papa Deuce]

Yes, according to my ex boss.... I plugged my personal laptop in to charge it.

ROFLMAO you're not the first! People have dirty minds!

I stole quarters from my dad. He used to keep hundreds of dollars worth lying around! He told me once he knew about it, but didn't care. I still felt really bad about it for a long time because he would have just given me as many as I wanted if I'd asked. I think I just enjoyed the thrill of getting away with it. I can't remember how old I was, but I was in my teens.

I stole a handful of bulk, individually wrapped candy at a grocery store when I was maybe 8. Here is the thing that amazes me to this day. Apparently a neighbor saw me do it and reported it to my mom. This store was located right behind my house. I was home within 5 minutes and my mom was at the door waiting for me. This was long before cell phones. Man, did word travel fast. I walked in the door and was greeted with, "empty your pockets now." I had to go back up to the store with the candy and apologize to the manager. That was back in the day when other parents parented you as well as your own parents. We don't see that anymore. If you were rat on a kid today, you would be told to MYOB.

When I was about 4, I stole a Sugar Daddy from the grocery store. My mom saw it (I was eating it, lol!) and made me take it back, pay for it, and apologize. I cried the whole time.

I never stole anything again!

When I was a kid, I would steal the extra buttons from clothing in department stores. I was picky, too...only the pretty buttons. I kept them all in a little box in my room. I remember every time we would walk out the department store, through the security thing, I would be SO scared that the sensors would go off. LOL!

I used to have a really bad habit of stealing pens. Not something I did intentionally. But if you handed me a pen to write something, it would end up in my purse. I have no idea how. I am getting better at it though. Most of the time I either use my own pen (from my purse) or try my best to remember to give them back their pen. So there you have it, I am a pen thief.

I took kitchen wooden stick matches from the grocery store so we could make ping pong ball bombs. And back in the days (long time ago) when all pop (soda) bottles were returnable (no cans nor plastic bottles then), we would take cases of bottles (2 cents for regular 8 or 12 oz bottles, 24 bottles to a case, and 5 cents for quarts, 9 bottles to a case) from behind one grocery store, where they were waiting to be picked up by the pop company (Coke, Pepsi, etc) and we would cart them over to the other grocery store in town, bring them in the front door and get the refunds.

When I was around 8, my sister dared me to steal a little crossword book from the grocery store check out line. It was a tiny book, pocket sized, cost around a quarter or 50 cents. I put it under my baseball cap when my grandparents weren't looking, and we walked out the store. I felt so guilty about it, but I was terrified to tell my grandparents so the next time we went back to the store, I hid it under my hat and put it back.
