Theif???

[Jesus Chicken]

[color=blue] Do you steal things from school, friends, family strangers? Have you ever been caught stealing before? Are you often finding stuff of yours stolen. I was just curious to know if any of you at there (like me) enjoy stealing the occasional item.
So yeah, tell me your story of theirvery if you're up for it.[/color]

[font=gothic][color=indigo]I can answer Kanojo's question, since Kanojo seems to have some idenity, or at least grammar, problems to deal with...Jesus Chicken comes around to my place, and steals all my food. Hell, he even wrote a song parody dedicated to that very fact.[/font][/color]

[Queen Asuka]

[color=hotpink][size=1]I have a horrible tendency to borrow things for prolonged periods of time. Especially if it belongs to Anna or Ryan and is clothes/CDs. But I swear, I try to always give it back! Even if it is over a year later! ^_^;[/color][/size]

[FartMaster745]

[size=1]Lets just say I'm always broke. I borrow something for a long time and end up losing it.

I have had my stuff stolen before. I remember when I was little and Pokemon was so popular. My Chansy was stolen, my fav pokemon, and I know who stole it. Plus it was holifoil too. Well 2 years, I had grown a bit, I went around looking for the kid. I was surprised at how small he was. I guess he didn't hit pubity yet. Anywayz I beat the kid up(one kick to the shin was all it took) and took his box of Cheez Its.[/size]

[Meteora]

[color=darkblue][size=1][i]I used to steal. I got caught stealing batteries from a store. I wanted them for my gameboy. I havent stolen since. I hate it. I look at it as a lession, and a stage of my life. I dont think im a good kid cuz I have made some bad mistakes. So yeah thats my story.[/color][/size][/i]

To be a proper thief you first have to excersise the crucial part of stealing.
Patience.
You have to carefully watch the place you are stealing from. Watch for cameras. Watch for the movements of the employees. How they act. How they watch. And most importantly, when they don't pay attention.
Then couple that with the item which you want to steal and plan when would be the best time to lift it.

In responce to the original question, yes I do steal. But only things that would seem frivolous to others when in fact it really means something to me.

Recently I stole a piece of Buffalotear glass that looked exactly like the one my fourteen-year dead grandmother gave to me.

Long story...........

When I was much younger, there was this department store around here known as Venture. They've since gone out of business. Most of their locations were replaced with K-Marts, which ironically are going out of business as well.

One day I was with my mother and my brother, who was a baby at the time, there. I found this game for the PC and I knew I'd never be able to buy it, even though I wanted it rather badly. I put it in my cart, pushed it over to an aisle that didn't have those black cameras pointed at it and took it. I got home with no problems.

Except there was a problem. I had some need to do it again. The next time, I trudged over there through the snow. It's about a mile from my house, I'd guess. I wound up taking something else, another PC game. I walked home, and my mom and my aunt asked where I was. I didn't say anything, I just ran upstairs.

By the next time I went to Venture, I wasn't stealing because I wanted the stuff I was stealing. I was stealing because I enjoyed it. It gave me some sort of adrenaline rush, but it wasn't the same as the kind you'd get during a fight. It was different, and I admit, I really liked it.

This went on a couple more times, I belive. The last time I just had a whole pocketful of game cases. I don't even remember what they were. Just a bunch of crap I didn't even have interest in.

I got to the front door and I zipped up my coat and put my hat on. It was still winter at this time. The automatic doors opened and as I took my first step through them, a hand landed on my shoulder. I thought "Oh ****." Really, what else would I think? I was finally caught, when I really never thought I would be.

It was this gigantic black man, who I'd never honestly seen before. He took me to this back room where there was this rather skinny white guy. They asked me a bunch of questions. By this time I was so rattled that I couldn't possibly lie. They knew I was there before, so I told them about the other stuff. They then asked who would be more upset, my mom or my dad. I didn't think to lie about this either, and I stupidly told them my dad would be. They called my house and asked for him, and thank god, he wasn't there.

My mom wound up coming with the other stuff I took. In the meantime, I just sat there while they talked about random nonsense and showed me pictures of the most wanted shoplifters at the time. I didn't get anything on record for it or anything like that.

You know your mom is really upset when she doesn't say anything. At least with my mom, she yells all the time... but when she sits there and talks to you rather calmly and looks incredibly disappointed with you... I think that's probably the worst.

Anyway, I got this paper in the mail from Venture. I was required to pay back for what I stole, and also some fee for "damages", whatever the hell that could have been. It was well over $300. I paid it out of my savings account.

I've not even attempted to steal anything since then. I don't have the desire to, and I didn't want to disappoint my mom. It's not really worth it.

[Fyxe]

Once when I was like 5 or something, I stole some suckers from the store, :sweat: but I didn't know it was wrong in anyway... and no I didn't get caught.
But I always tend to borrow things from people and never really seem to give it back... even though I mean to. Especially items from my family and friends.
I occasionaly take something from my sis just to tick her off... lol, it's funny when she is mad and plus I have the upper hand, seeing to I can fight/defend and she can't.

[lea]

:blush: when i was young and stupid, i kinda did the same stuff that semi said he did.....i never told anyone because i still am ashamed of it, and i still kinda think of myself as a bad person because of it (the only difference was i was fined 90 dollars, i had to go to the police station and everything. they fingerprinted me (i was 13 then, i think) and took pics of me. they said when i turned 17 or 18 it would be erased from my file, so i am glad.

[future girl]

I've stolen little things, like eyeliner, lipstick. Then I've stolen plastic jewelery and socks, sticky notes very little things that are worth less. My mom's a theif, she steals jewelery, the real kind, or she'll switch the prices on items. . .she's really cheap, she'd risk improsonment as to not waste money. She's never been caught either, she's a master I tell you. . .

[Corey]

A trick for your mom antema, wear a long sleeved shirt or coat and reach all the way to the last line of lipsticks like you want to look at one that's not in front. Then with one hand stuff it into the sleeve of the shirt. Grab another one and take it out, looking at it. Then put it back and walk out.

[kiyoko_chan]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=crimson]Cough. Here's my one story on my thievery.

I was Four, possibly Five. Too far away to remember my age. I was at Walmart with my Mom and sister. I really wanted this toy Meeko [From Poccahontis(sp?), I think =/] and Mum wouldn't buy it.

I was still holding it while she was paying everything but the stuffed animal, and I kind of forgot to put it away. But, the Sercurity Alarm didn't go off ^^

We never returned it. It's in the back of my closet =/ The End. [/COLOR][/SIZE]

[/B][/QUOTE] [color=navy][i] Heh, the last thing I thought a forum of this quality would support is illegal activity.:p
I only occasionly swipe minor things, like for instance, when my friend leaves spare change around in his messy room, I take a few dollars of it. Well, maybe he should clean his room more often and not leave things around.
I don't steal from stores. It takes away profit for them, regardless of how much it is. I'm surpirsed I care about a buisnesses profit, but I run on the basis that I wouldn't enjoy losing profit that way if I owned/operated a buisness.

Once I was playing the Legend of Zelda and I ran into the little shop thingie with my pegasus boots and stole a bow and arrows and all kinds of nifty things. And then I walked back in and the old man killed me and everybody called me theif. Wasn't that enchanting?

[Fall]

Pens, permanent markers, boxes of chalk, late-notes, etc. All the small stuff that can get you through a day at school.

[Guest King_Cloud690]

Well I used to steal stuff a few years ago! I would always steal candy, batteries, food, anything! But I eventually stopped because I did not want to get caught! So since then I have never stolen again!

[Defcon5]

I was like 10. I was at a chucky cheeze type place and the guy behind the counter was being mean so when he wasn't looking I took an extra prize. I'm so bad.

[SpikeSpiegel]

i used to work an a toy store, *ahem* name withheld, and some woman tried to buy a PS2 but her check didnt clear so she said she would be back for it. so i kept it in the bag with the two games she wanted in a bag behind the counter. well low an behold she never came back. so a week later i told my older bro to come inside a buy a dvd. well i put the dvd in the bag with the PS2 an other games. he walked out an badaboom badabing i had a brand new PS2 waitin for me at home. thats about the biggest thing i ever took next to a gameboy color an pocket the same store used to demo games in. i took poekemon red an it has a freakin million mews. it was the one they used to trade with the nintendo people who came by when it was real big. thas about it. other than that i had a freind who stole like a whole wordrobe from sears within a month. oh yeah an the PS2 i stole doesnt work well anymore (that was 2 years ago) so it looks like i actually have to buy another one. damn.

[Baron Samedi]

You guys are a bunch of kleptomaniacs. Lol. Only joking, however true it may be. I have taken things before. Like at one stage I was into coins, and I was at a friends place, well one of my mum?s friends places, in Perth, and I went to the bathroom. On the bench in there, there was a 20c coin, a special commemorative one. I am very ashamed to say that I took it, put it in my sock and left. Very ashamed. Aside from that, I have taken like, 3 Lego bits years ago, from a kid who had, soooooo much Lego. And the stuff were these really cool little pieces. Not very good that I took them, but that is in my past now. Never again, unless it happens while my eyes aren't looking. And we should be happy, we have a professional among us. Three Cheers for KnightofTheRose. Hip HRAY, Hip HRAY, Hip HRAAAAAAY. But I [i]do[/i] think that stealing is bad, and I do not think I will ever do it again, because I know I would hate it if someone stole from me. Plus, this was like 4 years ago. At least.

[vegitio]

well i just steal stuff from my little brother... hes like 10. But anyways say if i need some money or somthing. (he doesn't count his money) just wait till he is down stairs or he goes #2. I just go into his room and take some money.

[Jesus Chicken]

[color=blue]I've never told anyone this story but here it is in the shorthand atleast.

I used to collect basketball cards when I was like 6, and one day I knocked off a whole bunch of good cards from a guys own collection. Obviously he found out. I got punished, but nothing severe as I was only 6. Still, it should have been the end to my kleptomania, obviously it wasn't.

I laugh when I see people like Knight of the Rose talking about being discreet, because thats really not my style.
I have stolen several pairs of drumsticks, a kick pedal and a cymbal stand from kids at school and also the school.
It's always been a simple process of grabbing something and putting it in my bag. Too easy.[/color]

[James]

[color=#707875]I've never stolen, primarily because I know what it feels like to be stolen from.

I had [i]two[/i] pairs of sports shoes stolen from me during my time at high school. On one occasion, they were taken from my bag while it was in the change room (there were no lockers in there). And another, it was taken from my bag when it was [i]under[/i] my locker outside one of the classes (the locker was too small to fit my bag, lol).

And more than that...I just see stealing as a total waste of time. I always have. Either because you're hurting someone who has done nothing to you, or because you'll probably get caught at some point.

[DevilzAdvocate]

Ive stolen things, at school i stole a mouse from the computers, the next day i took it back with a guilty consience, at school we have a competition me and my friends to see who can steal the most pens without getting caught in 1 day. Its wrong i no but its just something to do.

[b] if you ever think about doing it, think about if the person you are thinking of stealing from is you, and how you would feel if somone stole from you....... [/B][/QUOTE]
[color=navy][i] Whether it was implied in my post or not, that's what I base my actions on in the occasions I steal minor things from people.
Quite frankly, I only steal things that I myself would not have a problem with that kind of item being stolen from me.
Like small things. Pens, very small amounts of money, I really wouldn't have a problem with someone stealing those things from me, because they are of little value. The only reason I want them in the first place is for very un-important personal use. Ie: The money to be used to by a drink of some sort at a store.
I'm not trying to justify stealing, i'm just saying that why I steal what I do, so what I said isn't taken into the wrong light, which is kind of what your post made me feel.
"Do unto to others as you would have them do unto you." That really does work in many circumstances.
