Have you ever shop lifted?

[rchunter]

Yeah I remember stealing Commodore 64 games out of Target when I was like 12.

Once, when I was around 13. I felt so guilty, I knew then that I wouldn't be in sales or marketing.

Weird. With all the things I have "taken" by various "means", I have never shoplifted. Now, corporate thief..........................

I did when I was around 11-12. A few GI Joe's, some batteries etc. I was going to take a scientific calculator, had it in my pants when I noticed a guy looking right at me from around the corner. I took it out and put it back on the shelf and walked out. Right when I got outside the guy ran out and yelled at me to give it back and I told him I didn't take anything. That was the last time. Feel pretty stupid about doing it. It was never because I didn't have the money, mostly for the rush I guess.

I've arrested a bunch of folks who have, lack of money is rarely the reason why.

In my case it was lack of money and the thrill.

Only once. In the late 80's, when I was like 5 or 6, I took a tiny little Virgo horoscope scroll while waiting in line at the Kroger checkout with my mom. I'm pretty sure I still have it somewhere. I actually thought they were free at the time, but after a couple of years I started to doubt that was true.

I can see why you would think that.

Stole a haircut once. I went to Astor Place haircutters in Manhattan and they give you a ticket to pay. There was some fuss at the payment counter and I just walked out...lol

HAHAHA!

But I have to tell you. Based on your avatar, do you even have hair?

Never shop lifted. When I was a kid I was with some friends who, unbeknownst to me, shop lifted and got caught. I was dragged into the security office with the others, but having nothing in my pockets I was turned loose. Still scared the crap out of me: I wasn't worried about the store's security, I was worried about my father.

Just last week was in a store and saw a guy get busted by the manager for shoplifting. The employees were confirming the guy had lifted more than $20 in merchandise. Apparently unless it's $20 or more the cops here won't pick you up and stick in you jail for at least overnight.
