yes, of course, i ripped an atari 2600 game (forgot what game it was ) open and shove the cartridge in my pants and tried to walk out with it.

got caught. as i was walking to the 'back room' with the security guard, i slip the cart somewhere else. so they never caught me with it. i just said i wanted to look in the game package.

I was in the middle school then.. 85? 84?

never ever shoplift again after that scare.

Nope, I was too scared of getting caught. When I was in high school I worked at a 7-Eleven that had a "group home" behind it. The workers caught a couple of the kids with stuff they had stolen from us, so they brought them back and we had the cops put the fear of God in them. That was fun. :)

Once when I was prob. around 5 years old.

I loved vienna sausages, and had asked my Mom to get some for me while at the grocery store. I insisted that I hold them until we got to the checkout counter. My Mom told me not to get tired of holding them and forget about them, which I did a few minuttes later. Put them in my jacket pocket. Got to the car and took them out and gave them to my Mom. She made me go back and return them.... never shoplifted since....
