    I recently accidently stole a tent.

    I was buying camping gear, sleeping bags, airbed, cooler etc and got to the self serve checkout. Scanning all my stuff and it has a hissy fit, attendent comes over and fixes it and says "is that everything?". I thought it was. Wasnt until i got home that i realised im the new owner of a free three man tent.

    What have you accidently stolen? "Accidently" works too.

    A jumper

    It looked exactly like one I owned, and I took it assuming it was mine.

    a packet of sliced ham from lidl, it hid itself behind something that was too heavy to be lifting out of trolly at checkout

    Accidentally stole a phone in school years ago.

    We were in computer class, and there was often a woman in who would be installing software or updating some stuff during class (there was maybe 30 computers but only about 20 students in our class so no big deal).

    Anyway, she was working on the computer beside me, finished up and left. At this stage I spot what I think is my phone beside me - back in the days where Sharp flip phones were pretty cool of course. I put it in my pocket and think nothing of it. She comes back in maybe 10 minutes later and is looking around where she was working, and asks me if I've seen a phone anywhere. I think nothing of it and say no I haven't, sorry, etc.

    So off she goes again. A few minutes later there's an announcement over the intercom that a staff members phone has gone missing and could whoever has taken it please return it to reception. Yet again, I think nothing of it.

    At some stage I put my hands in my pockets and realised I had 2 phones. Thought "oh shít" and asked to be excused as I had her phone by accident. Queue the rest of the class with plenty of "yeah right!"s and whistles. Went straight up to reception to explain my mistake, but being the stupid gob****e that I am I never think to actually show them my phone and how easy a mistake it was to make. They let me go but clearly didn't believe me.

    Got back to class, though our teacher did warn the class to watch their belongings as I made my way to my seat. The bastard :o

    Similar story here.

    I thought CDs were being handed out for free at a stall, but they were actually on sale. I just reached over casual as you like and took one without breaking stride. The seller must have been looking away for a moment.

    I remember being confused by the look one other stander-by gave me, which, once I'd realised the CDs weren't free, I understood to be a mixture of surprise and admiration at what he must have imagined was the coolness of my 'simply-do-not-give-a-f**k' brazen theft.

    A bank.

    I never realised how high-up I had progressed with all of these promotions and ended up owning a Bank would you believe.

    How to rob a bank... Own one.

    A few years ago I was in tesco with a vicious hangover (read still drunk) and walked out with a trolley full of shopping. Was on the way home when I realised. Don't really feel guilty about it, was accidental theft.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    Honestly speaking, I bought a bottle of captain morgans and 20 silkcut blue and only paid for the bottle of captain morgan, so i plodded out oblivious to what happened and a woman stranger stopped right beside me asking me was I alright while I was talking to myself on the foot-path saying that's not right to myself over and over again

    Next thing the guy in the off-license bolted out shouting that I never paid for the smokes. Well I went back in and paid for them, but the guy was talking with his mate while serving me in the first place and I was somewhere between cavan and donegal but I realised my error fast enough.

    I was in penny's I picked up two packs of two pillows, and went round rest of shop picked up a few bits and draped them over my arm that was holding the two massive bags of pillows,

    got to checkouts took all the clothes up and paid for them and walked out to my car,

    it was then I noticed the two massive bags of pillows were still in my hand and I'd only paid for the clothes

    four years later I'm still waiting on the 5-0 to arrive at my door eeeeeek 😱

    Had a meal and drinks with the missus in a restaurant and then decided to move to the adjoining bar to free up a table for those waiting to be seated. Bought and paid for the bar drinks then skipped on home without a care.

    Realized about 2 days later what happened when someone asked me was the meal expensive. I did go back and pay up.

    Loads of stuff in Tesco. The self service machines don't always scan properly. Sometimes when I check my receipt it doesn't have all the items that I put in the tray.
