Who else used to pick a grape or two on their way by the fruit section?

I thought my friend’s bowl of potato and veg was part of my own meal while at a formal dinner and ate it before I realized.

Yes, free tasters -

That and I'm old enough to remember the free counter at Woolworth's and robbing orchards and the pain after from eating crab apples!

That’s creepy as hell. WTF. Delete them.

Went through a short spell (a handful of times within a week or 2 even iirc) robbing a few things from Tesco as a child.

Nothing big just silly things. I remember one item being a block Chivers jelly, which I'd always wanted to try fresh out of the packet before it was made. Took a bite and ended up throwing it away :pac:

Some plainclothes guy tapped me on the shoulder during the 2nd or 3rd time and told me I was being watched and that scared me straight

Was living with the guy at the time. One night we were using his laptop and when he closed a tab the photo gallery opened and there she was.

I knew his password and he was gone for the weekend so I helped myself.

Not proud but I was absolutely obsessed with her at the time.

No. In fairness I would never post them anywhere else online.

Myself and my two friends nicked dirty postcards from a postcard stand in Kilkee back in the 80's

Remember the one's with the dirty cartoons

She might find such public exposure less horrifying than you keeping stolen pics to **** over. Try to separate fantasy and reality.

When I was 12 years old I stole a few bottles of Cadet orange juice. It was more due to peer pressure from my school friends than any personal desire or need to steal.

I went to school with this complete ****ing nutjob who would randomly hit other students on the back of the head because he thought he was better than everyone. Nobody did anything because he was the vice principle's son and even other teachers were intimidated by the vice principle.

I once stole the son's keys and threw them in the bin. Gave me great pleasure seeing him spending the day looking for them and being locked out of his locker.

Technically yes but I always give it back. I have been practising some misdirection and NLP patter and stuff. I've gotten to the point where more often than not I can get a shop cashier to give me change of a 50 despite me giving them a 10. I usually go back and innocently say "I think I got the wrong change here".

One doofus refused to believe had made an error though despite me then coming entirely clean and saying I played him. He just dug down that I could not possibly have done that. So in the end I happily left with the money. So I guess I stole it.

A couple of times I have stolen something entirely by error though. When not using a shopping basket I put something temporarily in the bag I was carrying or in a pocket. Usually then take it out and pay for it. Once or twice - simply forgot entirely.

Yuh huh, nice try, taxi, sounds like some more of that 'misdirection and NLP patter and stuff'. :cool:

30-01-2019 08:38AM

Hah I knew at least one person would move to simply not believe it

But yea I am afraid it is entirely true. I have shop lifted on occasion entirely by accident. The real ethics comes in when you realise and then decide if it is worth returning to the shop and coming clean or not

s7ryf3925pivug · 30-01-2019 08:57AM

I walked off with lots of shopping from Tesco one time. Left the shopping centre, crossed the road. Then I said ‘I think I forgot to pay’, went back in where the checkout was still saying ‘Do you want to continue your purchase?’

Not exactly stealing, but I guess I was lucky not to have been stopped and accused of it when I wandered off.

D3V!L · 30-01-2019 10:13AM

I'm dodgy, i'm a geezer, I'll rob anything me :cool:

No really, I'll be f*cked if I'm typing anything here about my exploits.

A pencil when I was about 5 or 6. Not just any pencil, it was the pencil of all pencils. It was about the size of a ruler and at the top was a small pouch of tiny colouring pencils hanging off it. I had asked my mam if I could get it but was denied it so I just picked it up and pocketed it. I confessed to my mam when we were half way home and despite getting a telling off, I kept it.

TomSweeney · 30-01-2019 10:58AM

I once at an ATM noticed there was €40 left behind, the girl before me had left and couldn't see her.
I pocketed it and told myself I would keep it if she didn't come back.

I took my own money out and waited a bit , and was about to leave when she came back in a panic,
I was relieved to hand it over cos I allready felt like a thieving scumbag - even though really someone else would have taken it.

razorblunt · 30-01-2019 11:30AM

I stole a Moro from the Siopa in the Gaeltacht when I was 13, it was the one run by the school and we were helping bring the boxes in. Every one did so I followed them. Felt too guilty to eat it, so passed it on and felt relief wash over me.

The difference between being a gadaí and Gardaí though, I guess.

When I was about six I went Christmas shopping with my mum and spent a few hours traipsing after her in Anthony Ryans on Shop street in Galway.

I was totally bored out of my brains so decided to essentially raid the shop while I was there. In the car home my mother found Christmas baubles, crystal earrings, a watch, a pair of Christmas socks and a necklace in my little backpack. She marched me back to the shop and made me hand them in and apologise to the owner, who was highly bemused and let me keep one of the baubles as a gesture of appreciation for my honesty.

27 years later we still hang it on the tree every year and I'm still getting an almighty slagging for it.

Have you ever stolen anything?
