Used to take jelly sweets from a shop when I was young, just slipped them up the sleeve and it was grand.
When I used to work in a newsagents I used to take sweets, crisps, drinks & magazines. Was great when they left me and the young staff in charge...sat back and ate!:D The week after I left that job they got in CCTV!! Perfect timing!!
Don't feel guilty about it though.....oh well!

The girl who used to work in the local shop used to give me lots of cigarettes,booze and scratchcards(all gratis) when I was 13-14, does that sound like stealing??

Your a kleptomaniac?

Are you taking anything for that?

I robbed a number of roses from what looked like graves over in Islandbridge and gave them to my bird at the time and she was delighted. I scored. Who said they died in vain? Romance lives on.

i stole an Adam Sandler film but after watching some of it i sneaked it back into the shop

OutlawPete · 11-03-2010 10:51PM

I knew of a florist that used to go down to the rubbish pit in a local graveyard when everything was taking off graves and fill their van back up with all the stuff they found that was still resellable (not a real word, but it should be, so I'm using it, problem with that? Take it up with Admin :cool:).

I've stolen stuff, but purely out of necessity when I've fallen on hard times.. bread and the like when I've not eaten for a few days and start to get quite ill. And makeup. But for god's sake, nearly 10 euro for a tiny little bottle of foundation is bloody ridiculous and entirely unjustifiable. Damn being female in a judgemental world and also being incredibly poor.

gonnaplayrugby · 11-03-2010 11:31PM

books for school
chicken fillet rolls
sweets
a hoodie at xmas

i actually think its easy sometimes i do it if i have no money :P

actually what are peoples methods? for books i normally just ask cashier for a bag, buy one thing and then just walk out :P

for food i normally just put stuff in my moms trolley and leave it there and walk out or put it in my pocket at break and buy somethin cheap

I stole a kitten when I was about 4 from my Grans neighbour- I hate cats now.

hyperbaby · 12-03-2010 12:49PM

I used to nick stuff from shops when i was a bratty teenager, eyeshadows, pens, small things like that.
i was bold and two of my other friends were doing it all the time.
Somehow mom found out and was not impressed and told a few people cos she has a big mouth!
but anyways i grew out of it thankfully, there was a bit of a buzz out of it at the time.

But who pays for the Government? Could it be the ordinary, hard-working man on the street? :rolleyes:

damagegt · 12-03-2010 01:55PM

a large enough local shop got a delivery of minerals in and for some reason decided to keep them at there house under a larger cover .we went down to our usual hang out and walked all the way along the waters edge till we came to the back of the house under the cover of darkness.From here we proceeded to hollow out the large pallet of mineral from the inside and then replace the front so it would seem like nothing was missing,we done this for maybe 2-3 days,we buried everything we took in a huge hole that or mate dug while we were doing the thieving,i cant really remember what happened but i know we had cans or coke and fanta for months after,I thought it was pretty smart for kinds of 14-15

Shush you with your logic!

Abi · 12-03-2010 02:00PM

You're all a bunch of criminals! Nope never stolen anything, unless you count hearts :cool:

I remember I was in a clothes shop a couple of months ago, and walked out with a top in my trolley that I hadn't paid for. I got as far as the car park before I realised what I'd done, then legged it back to the shop to pay for it. I decided to tell the lady behind the counter what had happened with a very red-faced security guard standing beside her :pac:

Son Of A Vidic · 12-03-2010 02:45PM

Who hasn't, ya start of small as a kid, ya fall in with the wrong crowd. Petty crime becomes serious crime, guns come into the equation. It soon gets ugly and people start to die. Don't get me started on this one......

Well i all fairness i'd rather steal trays of coke and the like then steal somebodies heart!
Some people jus can't handle love!:pac::pac::pac:

jackiebaron · 08-04-2010 12:21PM

Loads of stuff.
Apples from orchards, milk bottles from outside people's houses and trays of eggs as well that we used to pelt at buses.

Robbed the odd few bars of chocolate or cans of coke here and there from the local shop. But small local shops were harder. Ching's chipper in Marino was ace. We'd order chips, the bloke would go in the back to make them and we'd lean over the counter and lift a tenner out of his home-made till to pay for them.

I was a mod back in the day so the big green fishtail parka was ideal for getting the "five-finger discount". Used to rob pairs of white socks from Dunnes and cans of spray-paint from Consort to spray up the alleyway walls. But Eason's bore the brunt of our thievery. I'd rob all my school books from there each year and then keep the loot me ma gave me to buy them. Managed to liberate them of about 10 English-version Peig books once and flogged them to the guys in my class.
But that was about it. Then I went off to uni and worked during the summers so I paid for everything I wanted/needed.
Don't feel guilty about Eason's. I'd say the staff and delivery guys there were on the take on a massive scale. Feel a bit guilty about swiping the odd choccy bar from the local newsagent as he was a nice old man who worked hard and didn't deserve young pups chipping away at his modest profits.

In my adult life I haven't really stolen anything. I've taken stuff from work to use at home like pens, blank CD rom, sellotape and once a block of printer paper from the supplies room that had thousands of crates of the stuff. But it's only 4 euros for it now so I just buy all these things. Bootleg some software once in a while but that's it. Most people nick useless sh1t. They just do it to see if they can get away with it, that's all

Precious flower · 08-04-2010 12:25PM

Your poor mothers tut tut.............:p The worst thing I think I ever did was just steal a sweet or two thats all!:D

Not as an adult, but as a young child yes!

jigglywoo · 08-04-2010 12:57PM

I stole a baby Jesus ornament from someone's nativity thing at new years. They knew I did it but said it wasn't theirs anyway so it didn't matter to them.

Have you ever stolen anything?
