Very minor things. Some candy when I was a kid, occasional stationery products from offices where I worked.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I work in a clothing store. I have helped myself to quite a few items over the last few years. Nothing too expensive of course. That would get noticed. All items that can't easily be identified as coming from my store, or items that can't be seen. So quite a lot of underwear. The easiest way is to come to work without underwear and go home wearing them. I misplace a lot of panties somehow but not Bras. I have two big drawers full of Bras. There must be well over a hundred.
I'm a torrenter and peer to peer downloader, (thepiratebay, and kazaa, napster, all P2P stuff), so basically if you consider that actual "stealing" which entertainment and media companies certainly do, then I've stolen literally millions of dollars worth of media, like movies, books, videogames, and music. My friend once got sued for 2000 dollars in the early days, for uploading Million dollar Baby, to a website that we both were members of. I never uploaded, so I got away scott-free, and learned to never upload on certain popular sites. These days, they don't sue for that stuff anymore, and have learned that it is smarter to target the websites, and not the torrenters. The reason it's in the millions, of what I've stolen, is the computer programs, which sometimes are so ridiculously expensive, that I could not afford them at all. Adobe Master Suite, in the old days was thousands of dollars, and I use several programs in that price range. So according to this definition, various forms of media.
However, I'm 6'4" so whenever I go to the movie theaters, I usually just tell them that I'm going to the bathroom, and then walk into the theaters, and watch 2 movies, and then go home, without paying for anything, except maybe a soda, at some point.
I've never been big on stealing important things, but maybe candy bars, and snacks, and drinks when I have had no money in the past. I have a funny story about taking a large stack of like 20 magazines, and walking out of a CVS, and getting away with it, but that was because I was under an affected state of mind, so kind of hard to explain. Maybe another time.
Lip gloss. I set it on the top of my purse so it wouldn't fall out of the basket, well it fell into my purse and I forgot about it. When I got to my car and seen it in my purse, I went back and paid for it. The saleslady thought I was nuts.
I've stolen a few things... nothing recently... Oh I walked out of a shop with a carton of grapes, totally forgotten I had it in my hands as was distracted talking to a friend... I did go back the next day and apologises, offering to pay for it which I was told not to worry about it... lol
Shame on me! As a teenager I stole cigarettes from my Mom's pack all the time! She smoked Pall Mall's better than my Dad's Camel's
I swiped construction paper as a child.
have taken vegetables from work home instead of buying. sometimes meat too.
A model airplane when I was 10 or 11. After the walloping I got from my dad never did it again.
MANY HEARTS and KISSES.
But never stolen anything actually.
A turkey at Christmas. I put it under my shopping cart and didn't realise til I was at the car in the parking lot. Then I just panicked and went for it. Huge guilt over it, but couldn't go back in.
In HS I had a Girl friend who seriously lived for anything risky one of those things was shop lifting at the mall
So I did with her a handful of times and I almost always took Sunglasses
Oh and I stole some of my dads 1980's Hustler magazines
The virginity of a lot of young girls
The heart of a couple of very special people
When I was 12, I popped a tag on a 2-piece pool cue.
I tore the tag off the back of the sofa.
Time.
From those, I have loved who couldn't or wouldn't love me back. And those who loved me that I didn't.
Food when I was unemployed ( I stole it at the supermarket check out whilst paying for some things) and misuse of various government programmes during the same period as the benefit was never enough to survive (though I never went in for gas station holdups like Jane Fonda and George Segal). However I think the blue meanies have got enough out of me as I've had jobs ever since I was about 10 and paid enough in taxes since I was 15 to give every civil servant a desk. The biggest irony was when I worked for the employment service and managed to get a team of workers from the unemployed to work for me unofficially as leaflet distributors. Would it be considered theft that I owed one government department some money which I disputed but they wouldn't let me off so I claimed a benefit from another department and paid them with that? I haven't counted it up or anything but it will be a tidy sum although they got some of it back with purchase tax when I bought stuff so I don't really have sleepless nights about it really - it was just survival. As a kid in the country I used to steal raw turnips from fields and eat them - quite a peppery flavour, also apples from peoples gardens, a bag of sweets from a kid's pram (the one thing I feel guilty about). But the one thing I'm most proud of is I broke into a military prison and hid some cigarettes for the inmates I suppose that's a form of theft as they got them against the rules. I also once left the country illegally to work in another country as I was broke but not supposed to be availabe for work and then came back the same illegal way.
