Did you ever shoplift when you were wee?

When I was 4 or 5, I was in a kmart or some department store and I spotted this 2" santa clause figure laying on the floor in the aisle.  I asked my mother if she\'d buy it for me, and of course, the ol\' meanie gave me the big N-O.  So I stuffed the little guy into my pocket and took my first step toward a life of petty crime.

But I couldn\'t yet admire my booty (in the pirate way not the rear end way).  Questions might get asked.  "Where did you get that?"  "I don\'t remember buying that for you...hey is that...!!?"  So I had to tuck mini sinter klaus away.  But it was never the right time, those grownups were always up in my grill.  Weeks turned into months and I first learned to feel guilt...shame...the tentacles of my ill-refute wrapping themselves around my frontal lobe...



And then I got over it, dropped out of college, lived a mediocre life for 6 or 7 years and finally decided to give college a real go.  And here I sit, a 27-year-old freshman.

When I was 15 I got arrested for stealing an Alien vs. Predator poster at Disneyworld.

I walked out of the local corner store at the age of 8 having only paid for the candy in my left hand (and not the gum and baseball sticker packs in my right).  I realized my mistake when I got home.  I felt terrible, went back to the store and explained the situation.  The owner (who knew me and all the kids around pretty well) gave me a \'freebie\' and said not to worry about it.

8 or 9 stole an ice scraper from home depot.

I\'ve never shoplifted.  Just never got the urge when I was a kid.

Stole a couple rolls when I was a youngin and took random shit from my job. Nothing major, like a water or something or a pack of M&Ms. Nothing over a dollar.

I have stolen many a time between the ages of 14-17.  Only got caught once, and it was the people watching me steal chromies off of their car then calling my parents.

My favorite store to steal from was best buy.  They didn\'t have security cameras in the back where they keep the televisions and office furniture.  So we would grab a couple of music cd\'s and walk around the whole store for an hour or so.. then we would duck back into that area and peel off the magnets (they didn\'t put them on the inside back then) and stick the cd\'s down our pants.  We also did this at sam goody\'s at the mall.

And I used to steal video game magazines from a local book store.  I would stick a few of them down my pants, and then I would go up and buy one... 3 for 1 deal...

Man I was stupid back then.  I was a good kid too.. got good grades and all that... just liked the rush of stealing... at least I stopped before a few of my friends starting stealing cars for joyrides and serious shit like that.

I nicked a packet of chewits from the paki shop once when I was a kid, but only because the owner was always a twat with me, accusing me off all sorts of shit I didn\'t do.

It was only about 10p\'s worth of stuff, but it made me feel better.

I stole little stuff all the time when I was like 12 or something.  Never got caught, and eventually grew out of it.

any of you cats know john amos from the show "good times"? have you ever seen him mad on the show? well that\'s my pops times ten, and you will know why i never stole anything in my life,....sheeit gettin\' ass-whoopin\'s by him was like signing a death sentence...:ohnoes:....

Yeah when i was a teenager used to lift books from the book store at the mall. Guess i finally smartened up and said what the heck you doing. Though i also must admit stealing or trying to lift duct tape or something from woolworths before they went out of biz. Got nabbed and banned for life, big deal.

What did they care? They were going out of business. A banning from them is kind of pointless.

shoplift??? I did a hell of alot worse than that growing up.

When I was really young(maybe 7-8) I was in the grocery store check out aisle with my pops. (side note: I don\'t know if you guys remember but they used to have this show that you bought toys and vehicles and shot at the screen to beat the bad guys. I had one of the toys but no batteries.) I grabbed some batteries off the shelf(I don\'t even know if they were the right kind) and put them in my pocket. As we are walking through the aisle the little alarm they have goes off. The clerk and my father looks at my brothers and I confused as hell. He tells us to walk through again and by the grace of God the alarm did not go off the second time.

I would have received the ass whooping to end all ass whoopings if that shit went off again.
