Have you ever stolen anything?

    Hopefully this thread will get a few people arrested :p

    Have you ever stolen anything in your life?

    If so, what .. and did you feel guilty .. or not?

    I have stolen lots of stuff when I was young and I do feel bad about most it now, if not all of it.

    The biggest I suppose was when myself and mate robbed a box of Transformers back in '86.

    The Transformers TV show was big at the time and my folks just couldn't afford to get me one.

    Loads of kids in school had them and we were two little fcukers who just couldn't be told no.

    So, there we were down the back of the toy shop and we stuck about seven or eight of them in our school bags and pegged it.

    Went to a local hideout / treehouse were we played Transformer battles :cool:

    Then on the way home we were rumbled, had to pay the money back from my pocket money all that summer, so no World Cup '86 buying footie stickers for us.

    Then however .... :o

    We nicked about a dozen BOXES of Fifa World Cup '86 stickers from outside a local shop that only opened at Midday on Sundays as they were delivered to a storage box outside.

    Feel a little guilty about it but it was the best summer ever '86.

    Other than that, we used to stroke Cool Pops from the freezer of a local shop by reaching in and sliding a few up your sleeve but then only pulling one out and paying for it.

    Also, in that shop you could crawl along on your belly to the doorway entrance, slide your hand inside and swipe 1.5ltrs of Fanta and Coke wothout been seen.

    That's about it really and today I'm in The Joy :pac:

    Nah, the only thing I would be guilty of robbing now really would be the record companies,

    I rip MP3s from YouTube videos, which is stealing, no doubt about it.

    I do buy a lot of CDs and DVDs though, which I know doesn't excuse it.

    So, how about you?

    I'll be honest (please don't arrest me).

    I did steal ice creams (mars ice cream *drools*) and stuff from the shop around the corner from me when I was younger.

    Never stole anything of any real value though (just sweets).

    I suppose when you are a kid and haven't got money for things that you want, you just don't have the sense to think of the consequences.
    Or the fact that you are taking money from someone who is just trying to make a living.

    I would never steal anything now though.

    Does piggybacking on someone else's unsecured internet signal count as stealing? If so then yes - I"m stealing right now.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    When I was a young lad back in Holland I used to frequently rob sweets, money,Toys, and pre rolled splifs from the local spliffed up dealers instead of giving them 5 Gulden (around 11Euro's these days) I would give them one Gulden instead :)

    Used to order Lumpia's (sort of a springroll but much better) from the chinese at the local market every week take it off them and run like hell.

    And I had new Bike pretty much every single week, in Holland nobody really owns a bike.

    Stole another 150 Gulden to buy a Gameboy.
    Stole ninja stars and swords, and switch blades from the local army shops.

    Do I feel guilty not at all, had a great time back then young and stupid still laugh about the grazy **** I did back then.

    Group of us used to rob our lunches in school.

    I used to mitch off and go into Dublin (from Wicklow). Rob books and comics and read them on the Green. Bit of a nerd, I'm afraid. :(

    I stole a chocolate bar from a shop when I was a kid. I also stole Premier League stickers out of a kids coat pocket when they were all the rage back in the 90's(for kids anyway). Other then that I think i've been a good boy most of my life.

    When I was 15 or 16, I was desperate to get a copy of the Official Playstation magazine. I hadnt a bob and couldnt ask me parents. I came very close to putting it under me coat in the newsagents one day. I luckily saw sense though. When i look back now, i realise what a complete idiot i was. I mean getting a criminal record for a computer games mag. Now i realise i should have went for the top shelf and got hustler or something. :rolleyes:
