In college, the hippies who lived down the hall were forever stealing contraceptive jelly and rationalizing it with this bust-your-gut hilarious speeches (which were meant to be earnest and revolutionary, and not funny) about "Fortune 500 companies owing something to "the people," so it was right that "the people" would steal from "the man" because it was not really stealing. I'd be stoned listening to them and peeing in my pants.

the best way to steal something (listen up all you younger forum members: Sir Rockaby etc..) is you have to also buy something. you look way more suspicious if you just walk out.
I was always kinda brazen about it. Item(s) in hand w/head high. Worked for me.
Or go in and make off with a few of the store's shopping bags. (Works in larger stores w/more than 1-2 cashiers)
That worked well in big stores like Wal-Mart, Staples and Sears.
-
Know where the theft-deterrent devices are. Remove 'em if you can.
If you can't, buy something that you know has one inside the package. Some safety razors or socks or something like that. When you alarm the exit, just show 'em the receipt and they'll normally just let you walk on. (Big risk, though. I did this a couple of times and pulled it off.)
-
I still sometimes swipe things by simply putting them in the bottom rack of a shopping cart. Most casheirs don't bother to look down there or don't care that you're taking the stuff.
-
Also helps to be white, I think.

You guys (esp. Floop and K) are responsible for corrupting my innocent youth. Me, steal? Never. The closest I've ever come to stealing is eating food while still inside the grocery store, and forgetting to pay for it. Been guilty of that a few times.
Are you honest when no one's looking? Can you summon honey from a telephone? They sat there with their hooks in the water and their mustaches caked with airplane glue. |

I have to admit, I am incredibly guilty of stealing. I (used to) steal all the time...to the point I think there was a problem really.
Got caught once,when I was 14 in WHSmiths -taken to the police station and stuff. Was my boyfriends fault though. he made it too obvious. I prefer to work alone...
lol
I would only ever steal from large stores though. That was i think my only moral about it. Large chain stores. Never people family business or anythign like that.

Also, i totally agree with Floop. Always buy something when you steal. It really works.
Also, if in a large store, wait for a crowd of people to walk out, and walk out with them. Takes ages for the security to get to the doors, and when they do...they dont know how many peole walked through.

Consider me alerted! (I don't think I qualify as 'all' college admissions officers, but I'm a big fish in a small pond).
I say that, get a B at High School and an SAT 1 of 1100 and you're in.

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. |

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

Isn't there a formula somewhere that can be used to calculate the probability of the appearence of the preceeding image on a forum or messageboard?
I know there is a law that has to do with Hitler being mentioned...can't remember it now.
There should be a kitty/gun pic formula. |

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.
Besides this one is about survival. |

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.

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'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
do drunk things count? pub parephenalia plant pots and work yard bricks many many times
cats have nine lives/ which makes them ideal for experimentation |

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

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)
