Personally, I've never shoplifted in my life. I've never really stole anything, I've never held someone up at gun-point and demanded their wallet before I "blow their fucking brains out!".
Pretty much - I've never stole anything. Except in kindergarden I remember stealing a blue peice of lego that was shaped like a mail-box because I thought it was cool. Apart from that - nothing.
I remember my first year in Jr. High I walked home with a girl one day and we went to a corner store and she stole a pack of bubble gum ("Duble Bubble") - in retrospect, I think she was trying to impress me. She told me she wanted to be a hair-dresser, we walked to her friend's house that afternoon.
Anyone in here not a dweeb or nerd and has actually stolen something? |

Oh yeah, I stole a pack of razor blades from Wal-Mart one time, because I was SO DAMN TIRED of paying $9.00 for a pack of four. FOUR! The things last about one shave. It's highway robbery, I tell you.

Once I stole some cigarettes from Wal-Mart, and when I was really little I used to go grocery shopping with my mom and eat a grape or two right out of the fruit displays. Also, who has seen the big plastic bins full of different kinds of candy like Runts or Gummi Bears? To this day I still might eat one or two of those.
Once, at Krogers, I was buying beer and I took the sign that said "beer" from the hanging display in the aisle. I walked right up to the counter with it; I made no attempt to hide it and the cashier saw it. She didn't say anything, so I walked on out with it and still have it to this day. Until recently I had it hanging up on my bedroom wall, but I thought it seemed a bit frat-boyish so I took it down.

when I was about 20, I had a summer job on cape cod. everyone employed at the restaurant was a college student, and had to return to school the week before labor day. they needed people to work labor day weekend- the last weekend of the season, so they paid a bonus if you could come back and work. my roommate lent me her car and I went back to work, since my school wasn't that far away from the cape. don't ask me why, particularly after working all summer, but I went back to the cape with no money. the other people that worked that weekend were all hanging out and partying and asked me to come. my job was cashier, so I slyly slipped some cash out of the register, let it fall to the floor, and picked it up casually. the register was behind a big counter, so no one could see me do this. and then I had cash to go out and drink!
has anyone heard julia sweeney's story about her job where she compulsively stole money? she stole lots and lots of money. it was something where she was taking cash and giving out tickets, so it was easy to do.

I walked out of a newsgents with a guitar mag a few years back. Just looked through it, and walked out with it, haha. I buy my cigs from there all the time, so I don't feel too guilty.
I swiped some safety goggles from my old job too, cause they made me look like a Devo member. Weee!

Yes. Loved it.
Have you seen the trailer for the new Herbie the Love Bug movie?
Been Caught Stealing is all in it.
I was like "Hell yeah! Jane's Addiction!"
and then I felt very uncomfortable as i was there (to see Robots) with my 7-year old son who was struggling with understanding why his father was yelling about some lady named Jane in movie theatre.
So, needless to say, if you were waiting around with five bucks in your hand waiting to buy my upcoming brochure Understanding Poop, you can put that five bucks away, 'cause it ain't happenin.

Amoeba records - and I would have welcomed a full body search (though it would have been rather difficult to hide that many cds in my panties)
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.

Is it shoplifting if the store assistant "forgot" to ring it up?

I've been known to lift little things from work (although that is mostly unintentional)
at the end of the day whipping off the theatre blues whatever crap thats accumulated
in the pockets gets shoved without thought into the bag, from medical tape and pens
to really odd things like blades and stiches and theatre masks
If work canteens have salad bars or similar I rarely pay for what I take from them
and I've abused the NHS catering service severly (literally food from
the ward trolleys) although,
only really leftovers and it would have been thrown out anyway (probably)
From shops when I was young I did lift a few times, usually around mothers day/parents/siblings
birthdays, we were very poor and I suffer from a selective catholic guilt
always look after the folks first heh
used to steal magazines and sweets from one shop a few times as a kid, and like KSR the one
time they pulled me up for it I hadn't touched a thing, the woman practically made
me strip outside the shop to prove it to her, I stopped after that

well you must define better "stealing" because there are similar things that i consider more like "borrowing" or "not spending money on useless things that you have terrible need off but you cannot afford"
for what i remember i've stolen or borrowed or confiscated:
porn mags since internet didn't exist at the time
audio cassetes when a cd burner was a sci fi dream
condoms
sigarettes
ashtrays and glasses from pubs
batteries
an infinite number of bic lighters (tho' i don't do it on purpose i just find them in my pocket)
all kinds of signs (no smoking, ladies room, speed, work in progress etc)
3 or 4 mirrors for my scooter since mine were regularly stolen
probably other stuff that i don't remember.
and you can't steal mp3's. how cn you stel a thing that does not even exist?

I do have to wonder why so many stores put those things on the OUTSIDE of packages. I mean, I guess it will stop people from accidentally walking out with such things, but I doubt it stops very many thieves.

I regularly steal food from the canteen. But I like to call it equity. If I had to pay £10 for a meal they'd be stealing from me.

in my harass-adults-skateboarder-days we used to pretend we were stealing something, just to fuck with store owners (like, in a VERY obvious, stylized way. looking around suspiciously etc, making quick movements etc..). that was always good fun

I have stolen.
Mostly cigarettes - back in the 80's before supermarkets had them all locked down.
I'd take two packs off the shelf obviously, walk around the place a while, find a secluded spot, stick one pack in my sock, then stroll back (picking up an apple or a piece of gum to buy) and place the pack of smokes back on the rack as if I had decided not to buy it.
I was a kid - 14, 15 or so.
Never got busted.
Funny thing - I got accused at this same place at a time when I hadn't stolen anything.
I was walking out - was outside when 'the dude' - the guy with the keys - comes walking up all urgent-like.
"Could you come in side for a moment?"
"Sure!"
inside,
"Do you have something you didn't pay for?
"Umm, no."
empties pockets.
contents include a few dollars, some keys, a lighter, some gum and a Marlboro Lights pack with 4 cigarettes in it.
The Dude calls someone in...they argue that they saw me take something, which is impossible because I hadn't taken anything.
I laughed at them.
They let me go.
I had a rather dark youth. |
