    the government has been stealing off us for years, and they get away with it, don't figure.

    You should probably seek help for that op.

    Are you suggesting the OP should form a gang of thieves?

    Right I was in the chemist last weekend and casually stole a lipgloss, simply held it in the palm of my hand underneath my wallet and paid for other items I had picked up at the counter.

    Got me thinking, this happens every so often. I hardly ever pay for birthday cards, usually slip them inside a newspaper and pay for that.

    I never steal necessities just things I want and can't be bothered to pay for.

    Actually just remembered this minute that I stole from Macy's in New York (Mac foundation)......that is pretty bad.

    I think it started with stuffing Mr. Freeze's up the sleeve of my school uniform jumper :D.

    So does anyone else steal stuff for fun? If so what kind of stuff and how often?

    You're such a madzer.

    Well I like many others would not 'physically' steal items from shops. However I do download the odd file from the internet and I know that is bold.

    A lesser man than myself, not me mind, but a lesser man, might call you a bit of an itinerant for doing what you do so often.


    Perhaps a less enlightened man than yourself, a cruder man than you -- a man less sensitized to the qualities and charms and value of women -- a man like that; not you, but a man like that: he just might call her an itinerant yeah?

    Thanks McNulty. :D

    Stuffins I haven't a clue what you are on about but you can call me what you like ;)

    Oh OP, you continue your thievery as you've stolen my heart!

    I hope you get caught and charged to the full extent of the law for the birthday cards and lipglosses though.

    Back in the day I accidentally walked out of a newsagents without paying for my copy of the Beano. Ran back to pay for it though; I was a good boy.

    According to my parents I managed to walk out of Dunnes holding a rather fetching set of Flintstones pajamas too, they returned them though.

    So you have never actually stolen anything....

    I remember when I was 10/11, I absent-mindedly picked up a bag of crisps (I think it was meanies) from the shelf in my local newsagents, while the owner was speaking to another customer, and walked out.
    I realised what I did when I was outside, and was mortified. I stuffed the bag of crisps up my sleeve, and walked back in. I leaned down to the shelf again, snuck the crisps out my sleeve and pretended that I just picked them up.
    I then walked up to the counter, and paid my 20p for them.

    Because, I'm not a scumbag.

    I wouldn't steal from a shop in the traditional sense.

    If I noticed a cashier forget to scan an item or give me more change than they should I probably wouldn't say anything though.

    I would also download a car.

    Why thank you. It took me literally seconds to come up with that profundity.

    Profundity is profundity, after all.


    Now excuse me while I retire to my profundity lab.(need a dump)

    Today you're stealing video games and comic books, but tomorrow it'll be football stadiums and quarries.

    I find the best way to make a cashier to forget to scan items is to hold a sawn off shotgun to their head.

    I don't steal things, there's very little I actually want. Most of the stuff sold in shops is all just pointless consumerist muck. I don't need any of it and wanting it just puts me under "the man's" spell. If you feel the need to steal tat then your clearly right where "the man" wants you.

    It also makes them give you plenty of extra change.
