Never stole anything in my life but would not even hesitate to think of crimping a hog ring through the scrotum of one that tries to steal anything of mine! 😱
 
As a child once stole a small toy from the neighbor's kid as a revenge or some other crap. My parents found it, made me bring it back and apologize. Never shoplifted from a store.

Once, as a teen, living independently, I was running extremely low on money, and there was no one to help (long story). I was very close to lifting some money out of a charity box in church, because a couple of twenties were just sitting there in plain view, and everyone else was doing their crazy singing and arm waving inside (I'm an atheist). But I resisted the temptation, and did not go through.
 
I used to steal the fancy "flick my bic" lighters i had about 30 of them in my room all different kinds my parents found out and i stopped. still have some of those lighters still.
 
Back in the early days of high school I used to steal pizza for lunch. There was always a lineup of like 50 people, and some of us would just stand in the line meant for people who had already ordered and were waiting for their pizza slice. Since there were so many people in a small store, they could never tell who actually had paid.
 
I remember one thing that I would steal all the time were shits from school...mainly the nice graphing calculators and the Fluke multimeter's they had...real nice shit, was selling each at like $75 all day...I guess they never caught on or didnt care one because they never protected them or locked them up...they just kept buying more...hmmm...

Besides that Ive stolen a bunch of shit...dont really feel guilty for any of it as its always been shit from multi-billion dollar stores and shit like Walmart and what not.

Ive never stolen anything from people personally...like friends and what not...cause karma is a bitch but karma dont care about Walmart thats basically stealing from you anyways with MASSIVE ass mark ups and shit...

Well, I did steal a iPhone 3GS 16GB from a friends friend at a party once...does that count???
 
I use to take gum and candy from stores occasionally when I was <10.

One time my brother and I stole a pack of cigs and tried to smoke them in my grandparents' bathroom. My grandpa got really mad about the stealing AND the smoking, and I stopped trying both after that.

I stole a few packs of football cards, on a few different occasions.
I noticed an undercover cop following me around the store one time, after I had pocketed the cards.
I was so scared, I walked up to him and handed him the cards.
He called my mom over the loud speaker and they had a little meeting.
I was bawling like a baby, so I think that was punishment enough.
 
the first time i stole something it was accidental, it was like a 5 cent little rubber hollowed out semi-sphere with a pinhole at the top that would pop up if you turned in inside out and put it on a flat surface.

this was in a kb toy store and i put it in my pocket with intention of purchasing it but i honestly forgot and was amazed that the anti-theft alarm didnt go off (i was 6)

same except it was when my dad had cancer. I stole tons of stuff from the local drug store: speakers (small ones), candy, locks, toys, condoms (why? no clue, I wasn't having sex), anything I could get my hands on.

Eventually my parents got wise when I stole a gameboy from Best Buy. Made me take it back but they couldn't prosecute me because they had no proof. I was a little punk for a few years.
 
At 6 I was playing with Christmas ornaments on display and swapped the tops (with the price tags attached) on a few of them. I wound up buying one that I swapped. I didn't understand at the time that it was stealing but when I was older and realized it I felt bad.
 
Stole some gloves and a pack of gum at Kmart once. Course got caught and ass whoppin.

My two younger brothers stole more, even stole my dad's numismatic coin collection and took it arcade. Mom had to pay off the arcade owner to get coins out.
 
I and a friend stole some Dukes of Hazzard Matchbox cars from Zayre when we were about six. When we played at his house they were mine, and when we were at my house they were his. My mom figured it out anyway (it's amazing how smart mothers are 😉) and kicked my ass. She then made me return them to the store and apologize to someone working there.

isn't that mostly because of people like you stealing their shit?
 
I remember taking a package of magnets from the store shelf when I was about 4. I remember playing with them for a second.. getting in huge shit from my mom and not getting the package of skittles she had told me I could have... or something like skittles, maybe smarties.
