When I was a young fella, I stole a woman's heart.

She is now my wife and costing me a f**king fortune.

In a drunken moment of madness, I stole a pineapple out of a deli shop in Florence. I had asked if I could buy it, the guy said no, so I took that as a challenge.

I stole a bottle of red food colouring from Tesco. I think it was 89 cents. It was the only thing I needed and the queues were mental (before self service checkouts were a thing) and I was in a rush. (It was for a Halloween costume, needed the food colouring to make fake blood)

I might lose sleep over it, but Tesco are thieving feckers with half of their 'special offers' being dishonest pretend discounts (where the non sale item is cheaper than the 'discounted' one)

A crate of Bud from Tesco, just grabbed it and ran. Being a 16 year old with no money nor ID and a bit tipsy leads to desperate measures

Worked in a v. busy spar years back, cigarettes and phone credit, easily made more than my wages each week, went on for more than a year, never caught for it either.
Got talking to girl that was supervisor years later, told me that in one quarter the owner wrote off around €15,000 in stock loss, I can honestly say that my sticky little fingers were the cause of most of it (I was a little bollix when was younger)

As for single biggest stroke? Couldn't be telling that particular one, it's a doozey......

Savage Tyrant · 02-11-2015 10:03AM

Working in a factory about 2002/2003 and myself and another lad stole 2 pallets of 80gb hard drives... Got 80 quid sterling a piece for them. And I managed to get a pallet of recordable DVD players that I was able to sell on at a bargain of 150 sterling each. 40 of them all sold in less than 48 hours.
Literally 1000's worth of stock in one fell swoop.

Don't tell us... I can guess.
It involved a bank in northern Ireland a few years ago !

Pokemon cards.

I still feel guilty

Back in the day of penny sweets actually costing a penny, I would go to the local shop and grab a sweet bag, throw a few into them, but also a mars bar and a can of coke. Then go up to the till and say, "10 penny sweets, please". They didn't give a damn so would then just charge us 10pence.

As you can tell, I was a rebel without a cause.

razorblunt · 02-11-2015 10:46AM

A copy of FHM.
I thought it would be a once off, but I've found over the years my habit has grown and I feel the need to raise the stakes for higher quality, higher value goods. Don't do it kids, always be honest.

I'm now doing Time.

Tigger · 02-11-2015 11:04AM

i was working for a retail chain that was about to go into receivership and found out the lease was in default on one of the stores. managed to get a lease for the building, little re-branding later i got the store, they had offered to sell it to me for 30k
more strategic acquisition than theft

arayess · 02-11-2015 11:05AM

I stole a tittie mag from easons when i was 15.

Young people with access to the net just wont' understand.

The Backwards Man · 02-11-2015 11:12AM

I recorded Atlantic 252 off the radio.

Only thing I've ever stolen in my life.

anto9 · 02-11-2015 11:16AM

Years ago ,when i lived for a year in Germany .A newspaper from a street vending machine in Berlin ( you were given trust to put the money in a slot .) .Unknown to me there were two cops in a civilian car parked up nearby and they saw me .They confrunted me ,and i still feel the shame to this day ;-(

Stole a pig's head from a restaurant window in Sth. Korea when drunk one night.

Owner chased me for several hundred yards so I'm presuming it was valuable.

Not one of my prouder moments.

Mr. CooL ICE · 02-11-2015 12:17PM

1/3 of a tub of Philadelphia. I bought two tubs; a 200g and a 300g. The guy at the till scanned the 200g twice, thinking they were both the same. I saw him and didn't correct him.

The guilt still eats at me to this day

Dunno. Surely the most expensive thing you stole was the Declaration of Independence.

Accidentally A security tag on my new hoodie from Tesco in carlow. They forget to remove it and the gate never beeped. Not accidentally a tesco basket. This one was missing the security tag ,and I have been using it for years for my shopping.

allibastor · 02-11-2015 12:29PM

wasn't intentional but I was shopping a while back and got 2 slabs of Heineken in a certain English shopping chain.

I put my shopping up, and put up one slab, but told cashier that I had 2. She only put through 1 and I realized after i left the shop, but never went back. I think it was like 36 euro or something!!

Well it looks like Satan is getting all soft in his old age.

I've been desparate for drink before, but having some morals and a scrape of decency I simply don't think I would ever resort to budweiser.
