When I was a baby, I stole and opened a packet of Jaffa Cakes in Tesco, took them out of the plastic wrapper, and stored them safely within my nappy. Then after about an hour when they were seriously melted and causing my little baby bum some discomfort I started crying, Mum went to change me, and dicovered Jaffa Cakes squashed between my bum cheeks :colone:

Can only imagine her reaction

I got into a habit of shop lifting once when I was a kid

would do it daily on the way home with chocolate bars etc, my brother would always take it too far and open up his bag and start unloading shelves of coke cans into his bag lol

till one day I got caught and although nothing really happened it kind of scared me into not doing it any more because I was already close to getting a criminal record for scratching a car some time earlier

Saw a PC world delivery truck unattended last year. Living only 20 mins away by bus It would look normal for me to leave the area with a box with a tv in it or something.

So I run up to the truck, the driver is near the cab smoking, but the back is left open ??. I dont look at what I grab, just pick up a smallish box that I can run with, sprint off. Manage to get to the tram stop and hop on the tram (it goes in the opposite direction to home but I am not bothered at this point.)

I get off one stop later and realise I have picked up a macbook!! So I get off at the next stop and chuck it in the bin.

This all happened when I was 16 though, If I realised I stole a macbook now I would rather hand myself in than be caught running around with a mac.

Some random homeless person probably sold it and made like £800 :rofl:

Macbooks and iphones are the only things considered worth nicking nowadays, everything else you can think of is basically worthless, unless you are a professional designer watch thief or something. I'm surprised more don't get stolen but maybe that tracking software that most owners don't know about puts people off?

I once got in trouble for what was literally a culture change. I am adopted and when i lived in the country with foster parents at farmers stalls and stuff it was so common for you to try a grape or something before you bought them to see how good they were. I did this at a local greengrocers in London once adopted and my mum went absolutely crazy and marched me into the shop to apologise. I didn't even realise I had done anything wrong.

Brought up with a badman culture in west Sussex. London wasn't ready for me

Not exactly shoplifting, but we went on a pirates themed Pub Crawl for a mates 18th through the local town a couple of months back. We all had backpacks with us (we went straight out after college as it was a Friday) and thought it would be good idea to take some 'loot' from each pub we visited. At the end of the night back at my mates we emptied the bags to find a lot of us had taken pint glasses and placemats and trivial things like that. Odd items that turned up included a bar of soap, an ashtray and a brush used for cleaning toilets.

Back when I was a rebel (*cough*), at about 12, I took half a backpack of clothes from Primark.

I felt terrible, donated it all to Oxfam Clothes next door straight away. Hopefully that reverses my original act...

When I was a young troublemaker (I once lied to my parents, I know, I know, it's awful) around the age of 5/6 years old I used to constantly steal chewing gum from the supermarket. I did it for about two months until one day my father found out. He marched me down to the customer service area where he made me apologise profusely.

And then the customer service person manipulated my childhood gullibility and suggested I could be put in prison if I did it again. I haven't stole again since. :colonhash:

Aahahaaaa!! This made me laugh so much! Brilliant story!

Seriously?? Never.

You tried to make a joke and you failed by just stating the obvious and made yourself sound like an idiot. Congratulations.

I use to be a little bit of a thief when i was younger (6-7yrs old) :frown:

Not something I’m particularly proud of but at that age, i felt stealing would be the best way of being perceived as one of the 'lads' and seeking my brothers approval by handing over the stolen items to him. I can't believe how naive i was. I've been clean for 15 years :smile:
