Have you ever stolen anything?

I'm just trying to think and I've never stolen anything from a shop.
When I was a teenager I did borrow my brothers euro coin collection.(He was collecting all the Euro coins from different countries, he wasn't that into it.)

Have you ever stolen anything?

Hearts.

A pair of Zekler safety glasses from a lad who was doing my head in, being a deliberate arse way back in 2009. I still have/use them daily

More serious like...

No. Except once when I was not much more than a toddler, I'd reckon about 4 or 5, I stole a little yellow plastic swan from the classroom at school. It was part of a farm toy set sorta thing. My heart was going like a fooker all the way home and like Poe's The Tell Tale Heart I could "hear" it in my toy drawer all that night, so I put it back the next day. I'm horribly strait laced in that respect. That the above is one of my strongest early memories says much.

:D

Apples from an orchard. It was my initialisation into the gang. Later we moved into the hard stuff.

Stealing, of course, is a crime, and a very impolite thing to do. But like most impolite things, it is excusable under certain circumstances. Stealing is not excusable if, for instance, you are in a museum and you decide that a certain painting would look better in your house, and you simply grab the painting and take it there. But if you were very, very hungry, and you had no way of obtaining money, it would be excusable to grab the painting, take it to your house, and eat it.

There's also those pirate DVD's I had but video privacy isn't a crime. Is it?

29-01-2019 09:46PM

Yes

A comic book, from a newsagent, in 1958.

Hm, it's amazing how much the responses change if you include internet piracy

Yes. I put a bale of briquettes in the boot at a service station in Mullingar that himself was supposed to pay for. Turns out he got everything else on the list except the briquettes which I found out when we were 50 miles from Mullingar. To this day when we pass through said town he still asks me if I am planning any Great Briquettes Heists. :mad:

Cooking apples. They were gross.

I still feel very guilty about it.

Wildly Boaring · 29-01-2019 10:00PM

Stolen, no "inherited" from work yep.

Best one a full Teng tool socket set. In UK finishing a huge job and was site manager. No next site with own labour so they'd have ended in someone's boot.

Otherwise small stuff.... nails, wavin fittings, terram, stone, topsoil, cement...

I did work in a hotel and could have helped myself to biros, toiletries,etc that went in the guest rooms. I hated the place so much I couldn't bare to bring anything from it home with me.

I steal my girlfriends Netflix account.

RWCNT · 29-01-2019 10:16PM

I robbed like a bastard in my teenage and early 20s.

Used to weigh food in the local supermarket as carrots on the self service so a roast beef joint would be less than a quid. Was back in the same supermarket recently and they had signs up saying "If you can't tell steak from carrots, please ask a member of our staff to assist you". The old ways live on.

Yes , yes I have, and I did it maliciously too on this piss stain I worked with.

I'm actually proud of it too.
The ****ebag was a born again Christian who objected to everything , including listening to various radio stations , she didn't like some talk shows and didn't like some genres of music.
Complained that she was over worked , then complained she was being undermined if someone was tasked to help her.

The pox arrived in on one shift and left lunch in canteen , so I ate it , all of it , scaldy ham sandwiches , a stale Danish and a cheap chocolate bar .

She went on a rampage , challenging people and eventually wanting CCTV checked till a supervisor told her to cop on.

I stole a permanent marker when I was about eleven years old and got caught. When I was in my early teens I started stealing magazines. I sold one of the magazines (a computer magazine) in school for £1. I thought this could be a great business. Then shortly afterwards I stole a Bon Jovi magazine from the same shop. The owner of the shop was on a ladder changing a light bulb right beside the magazine shelf. I saw him and all but I was stupid enough to think maybe he wouldn't notice me. I walked out of with the magazine and he followed me. I legged it and threw the magazine on the ground. He never caught up with me but I tried to buy something from the same shop a couple of days later and was told to leave.

Another day, another box of stolen pens.

I once stole a small Ernie doll from a shop.

Me and my friends placed it on a plinth in our 1st year classroom replacing a statue of some saint or other.

When guys would enter the room we would demand that they pray to their new god Ernie.

If they didn't we would sacrifice them.

Hail Ernie!

I have a memory of being 3 or 4 and my little chubby fists helping themselves to the pick n mix display in a major supermarket.

Super-Rush · 29-01-2019 11:19PM

I shoplift all the time.

It doesn't actually affect anyone.

Its like punching someone in the dark.

Rows Grower · 29-01-2019 11:25PM

I robbed nearly every small dog that was out on the street between my nans house and our house when I was about 8 or 9.

I used to get them to follow me, or sometimes if they needed a lift I would pick them up.

Then when I got home I'd pretend they were strays that followed me.

Eventually I got my own dog.

I was working in a hotel one time with the maintenance man, used to also have to sort the bottles for return from the bar. Seen a fifty in the bottom of the bin, ye know the blue bin bar staff use for empties. After pulled it to where I knew there were no cameras and pocketed the fifty.

Have you ever stolen anything?
