Have you ever stolen anything?

OutlawPete

Hopefully this thread will get a few people arrested

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 ....

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?

Cos dubs have no morals.. didnt you know?

I was a demon for staeling sweets drinks from our local shops (as a kid)... was so easy cos the place would be jammers with school kids (nearly everyone had to pass the shops on the way home)... I stopped after the shopie saw me and came after me ... i ran...anyways dont feel good about now but I aint losing no sleep

This thread has remined me of a different situation which im not sure is classed as stealing but I could have come clean easly enough. While out purchasing a new TV and VCR (yes thats right a VCR!) (many moons ago) at a well known electrical shop. I selected both with help of a salesman, so he wrote it up, I grabbed a VCR from the shelf and made my way to the checkout, paid, was told it'll be 5 mins for the tv to come out so went out and put the vcr in the car. 5 mins later man comes out with the order, loads em into my car and off i go. On arriving home I find I have 2 VCR's as the man brought one out aswell as me taking one from the shelf. So I had 2 and I kept both of them. Whahaha

When I was young I stole sweets from a corner shop.

When I was slightly older I stole hundreds of pens from dozens of shops all over town.

I stream live football, download dvds and software on a daily basis, have downloaded several music albums, and piggyback on other people's unprotected broadband all the time.

I use my housemate's laundry powder every time.

Yep, I steal.

I'm too honest for my own good and the one time I fell from the wagon I paid dearly!

I was in 2nd year in secondary school and hung around a stupid group of assholes where I stole a measly bottle of wine as it was the fad back then for everyone. Another guy got caught and ratted out about 15 lads (including myself)

I got suspended, my parents were old-fashioned and valued it the same as if I raped a child. Cue my reputation as a son destroyed and many crappy years of living in the family house where the family had no faith in me even passing the Junior & Leaving Cert. (the whole listening to them talking behind my back about how I'd fail this and that, la la la, they even tried to send me to a therapist at 1 point :pac:)

In a way it also played out from the parents telling me I wouldn't be good enough to study Media in college, study something like IT where you'll get a job................................which is why I'm on the Dole now

Lesson for the younger boardsies, don't be a fùcking moron! That 1 bottle of wine created an unholy ripple effect in my younger years!

Yes, I've stolen.

I took a mug from Starbucks, one of the massive ones, but I asked a member of staff if I could first. She said they often ended up in bags like the one I was carrying and then winked. I took it as permission.
It's a dog eat dog world out on the streets.

Never really stole anything...

Well I did pocket a bunch of those pens in Argos before...

Outlaw, Downloading music is NOT stealing. It's simply infringement, which is a civil issue not a criminal one IIRC.

That said, I stole 45p from my dad's box when I was a kid to buy a kinder egg and then felt so guilty that I told him and gave the egg to him...he ate half!

Can't think of anything else. I wasn't a good kid by any stretch though, joy-riding and stuff was done in stolen cars, but I didn't steal them (This was when I was 10 or 12).

Setting fires, that sort of thing!

Was a fair bit wild when a child, but it was a very normal thing in my area.

Was in some pub one day years ago at Christmas time with three friends. The corridor near the toilets was full to the ceiling with crates of freshly delivered drink. One of the lads opened the fire exit then we all left via the front door, straight around the back and robbed 2 or 3 crates of beer each and legged it to a house party. Two more fellas went back to see could they get any but the doors were locked..

Those crates were heavy when you're running down the street but it was worth it........:)

About 600gb of movies/tv shows, and around 200gb games/software.

I'm baaad :cool:

Oh, and maybe 50gb music.

Newbie. I've 'stolen' at least 5 times that amount. I've more movies than Blockbuster.

However, I do buy full games/software if I like it. So I basically 'steal' demo's. I've no problem supporting companies that make high quality products as I want them to make more. For movies, I tend to watch them in the cinema, and then download. I don't like waiting months for DVD's/Blueray releases. So, I do basically pay for what I use & like.

Other than digital theft, I stole a chocolate bar from a shop when I was 13 and on a school trip. The one and only time I gave into peer pressure and stole because 'everyone else was doing it'. Felt very guilty afterwards and a few years later I went back and gave the shop owner £10 and apologised.

P.S. I thanked the OP, but someone stole it. I should have known better than to come into a thread full of thieves!

A few times I've gotten on the bus, while in my own little world and just walked down the aisle and taken a seat.

Then half way through or when off the bus, I'd wonder "Did I pay?!"

The strange thing is, I once did it and was aware the moment I sat down and the driver didn't seem to care or mention it. Even when getting off I said thanks and he was all "Cheerio, love"

I suppose it's a form of stealing
