Picking up a product from a shelf and walking out with it without paying or pretending to pay.

Does accidental shoplifting count? One time I was at Safeway and ate a cookie while inside cause I was starving. Was gonna tell them to add a cookie to my stuff at the checkout but forgot.

During the Christmas holiday when I was 10, I stole a video game. Moments after stealing it I was caught by the store security guard. He called home to tell my parents but they weren't home, but he left a message. After that he let me leave telling me not to come back ever again. So I biked it home as fast as i could to delete the message off the machine. Everything was okay until I found out the next day we were going back to the store with the whole family. I remember freaking out trying to do anything possible to avoid going back there but it was futile. After a couple of minutes of browsing at the store the guard saw me and apprehended me. Mum saw him and demanded to know what was going on. The guard told her everything but she didn't believe him until he finally showed her the surveillance tape of me stealing the game.

I got a 5 chicken wings out of tesco last week. Didn't notice it not scan it, walked out with other bits. Look a receipt, massive steal of £2.

I tried to steal a pineapple from the campus cafeteria. I'm not really sure why, I didn't even have a knife that would have been able to slice it. But it was there, and we weren't allowed to eat it. So it had to be stolen. I picked it up and walked out.


Shortly after leaving, a campus cop (with a slightly amused smirk) follows me out and says "Son, just where do you think do you're going with that pineapple?" (picture this with a Southern accent) They made me give it back and that was that shog[1].gif

Your rap sheet would have been hilarious to read.

When I was a poor college student I would take the stickers off the cheap tomatoes and put them on the super-expensive tomatoes, which tasted a hundred times better. Probably only a difference of 50¢ but I feel bad about it now.

I used to be the guy who worked for the store catching shoplifters. That job was a lot of fun.

It does, actually. It's pretty much the same thing.

There's a Simpsons episode that goes a lot like this.
