Times you were caught "robbing" when you were young

Rylan

Mine was when I was about 12 and in the local shop. Was shoving a brunch icecream in my jacket when the shopkeeper caught me. I tried to say that I was just wiping the ice off it but to no avail. Was barred from the shop. After dinner every evening when the mother would ask me to run up to the shop for a block of icecream I would have to make up excuses. "My knee is killing me, I feel dizzy, sick ect." Was not long before my Dad went into the shop and told the true story. Grounded for a month:(.

I'm sure there is a lot worse and more amusing stories out there, so lets have em.

Never saw the attraction in stealing something.

Does it taste better or worse if it's stolen?

There's nothing as bad as trying to steal a Brunch.

I don't think I was ever caught.

Overheard a incompetent security guard radioing ahead to the door once though so I dumped whatever I was stealing.

You got away lightly, I know of a shop who posted pictures of suspected shoplifters on their windows, under the heading BEWARE.

If you had brought a Magnum with you it would have been much easier to steal the ice cream

I was like 14 or something, I went into a shop and took a bag of maltesers. The security fella chased me down the road, marched me back to the shop then called the gardai. They asked me if I was sorry then told me to be good from now on and get back to school

:cool:

A friend of mine (and yes, it really was a friend on mine, not me!!!) got caught stealing a box of tampons, police were called in and she had to go to court - was a very embarrassing experience for her...

I can't help but notice that you are now located in "hell", so I think the Malteser incident must be the tip of the iceberg.:(

Was caught by the mother asking where the sweets came from.
My second attempt at a OG lifestyle at 10.
She then marched me up to the shop to apologise and pay for them.
Didn't go back to the shop for years.

I borrowed a Trocaire box from one pub and went up to the next pub and payed for all my Guinness with coppers for the night.

I got caught the next day when the 2 publicans talked to each other, got a slap on the wrists from one of the publicans and was barred until I was 18, the other publican gave me a job and a tab which helped fund my under age drinking.

Haven't borrowed anything since without permission or a very good excuse.

When I was a toddler I was every parent's nightmare - I'd wander off on my own the second they weren't watching. My parents even bought a leash for me at one stage, though they maintain they never used it.

Anyway, this one time we were at a shopping centre and I escaped my captors parents. I found a card store and stole a bunch of mylar balloons, went to a candy store and stuffed my face.


After what my parents say was around an hour, I wandered over to the security/customer service booth, where they couldn't see me because the booth was too high and I was only three but they could see this big bunch of mylar balloons, so they looked down to see me, my face covered in chocolate, and I asked "is anyone looking for me yet?"

I accidently robbed a chocolate bar once, had it in my head and was buying other stuff and forgot to put it on the counter. Felt awful after that! I was only young though.

I'd never risk shoplifting because knowing my luck I'd be caught and thrown in jail:o

That's just the girl penguins , seems to be a trait shared with females of the human species.

True story, (it was in Germany, you wouldn't get brought to court for something that in Ireland though, or would you?)

There was quite a few blue strings attached though
