What have you stolen?

Law is law, sin is sin, yet many people do this every single day in some form, be it malicious, for personal gain, trying to survive or just for shits and giggles, theft is all around us.

For many years I used to steal Twix chocolate bars or other small and easily snatched candy from a supermarket when in junior high. I didn't even enjoy them too much to be fair, sometimes took a bite and threw them away or gave them away to someone else. It was just for the juvenile thrill, the coaxing or for some sneaky satisfaction. I never thought about the ramifications, such as when I was caught trying to steal smokes - luckily it was a little shop in a little town and I got away with a warning. I, we all knew it wasn't right, but did it anyway. I know many people on NS have stolen rental poles, for example, without any big feelings of remorse.


So NS, what have you stolen in your lifetime, why did you do it and how does/did it make you feel?

When I worked at albertsons people would just wait till 9 or 10 when we were understaffed and run out the side doors where there's no registers.  One guy I saw had 4 cases stacked in his arms and couldn't even see where he was going.

We used to buy cookies from the cafeteria in Highschool, eat them all except for a tiny bit, put a hair on it, go back and get more for free. #badass right?

ahhh screw it...

here ya go: (im just copying and pasting what i sent to people in pm's)

Oh yeah. Idk you might be really dissapointed about it. Actually you probably will be. haha but ill still tell you any way. But i sail a lot over the summer and i think it was 2 years ago my team and I went down to Island Hights, NJ for the junior olympics at the Island Hights Yacht club and it was like a 3 day regatta so we were staying over night in a hotel. Well on like the second night we were there we left the hotel and walked down to the yacht club and me and my friends on my team just started stealing like every flag and burgee we could find right off the flag poles. And the burgees arnt cheap either and they are pretty damn big. But by the end of the night we had like 5 flags and two burgees i think. So we rolled them up and through them all in one of the sail tubes (where we keep our sails) on our boat trailer. Then after the last day of racing before we were leaving we snuck up onto the second floor where we wernt even supposed to be and then we went out onto the balcony of the of the yacht club which didnt even have a door, we had to climb through a window, and stole like 6 sponsor banners. Those were pretty sweet.
but this was like the main building of the yacht club and the balcony where the banners were:

If you wanna see the picture of the burgee i snagged either pm me your cell number or ask me for my number. I dont have a camera to upload pictures.

Only thing besides illegally downloaded music and soda in water cups at chipotle that I have stolen would be a piece of cornbread from safeway becasue the checkout line was way too fucking long. However like *Bird said, grocery stores around us are selling hard alc now so if a few friends and I are ever desperate before a party we might go nab a handle or two.

Everytime I get a bagel at school, it costs a dollar for a bagel and 1 creamcheese pack. However, this isn't a sufficient amount of creamcheese, so I always take another one. It's honestly because it's easier to just pay with a dollar. Other than that, I don't think anything.

ive stolen a few things, usually for souvenirs (like a cool cup from a restaurant) or beer. one time i got caught stealin beer from a mini mart. i paid for it and said sorry so i got off.

on a more serious note, stealing is REALLY FUCKIN BAD. at parties kids will clean a house out if they can. i was at a party where like $10,000 worth of electronics was stolen and like $30,000+ in jewelry. thats fucked.

Grabbed some nice AR6s a bit ago off the rack at the resort. Some rich kid probably owned them, plus they're super overpriced, so I don't feel badly.

That started me going, and I put together a sick quiver. I now have five different pairs of park skis in different lengths and styles, a nice pair of Lizzies for the big mountain stuff, and a pair of slalom skis I ripped from this racer kid. I thought I wanted to try snowboarding once, so I nabbed a board as well. Managed to find boots just lying around in the lodge that fit me. I even grabbed a pair of snowblades just for the hell of it to use on gaper day.

I don't understand why anyone even buys skis. It is so simple to just go to the mountain on a weekend and shop the rack for what you want. These ignorant rich kids just leave it all unlocked. I got caught once but just claimed that I thought they were mine, as I have the same pair. Easiest thing in the world to do.

For all of you who took that last post seriously, THINK ABOUT IT. You are rationalizing stealing food, poles, clothing, etc. It is all the same. It is all stealing. Think about the idea of me taking your skis while you're in the lodge. It makes you angry, right? That's because you can picture yourself being the one I am stealing from. All stealing is wrong. You're not cool for doing it. You're not entitled to anything. I've never stolen anything, and honestly would happily turn you in if I caught you stealing a redbull from the convenience store. If you can afford to ski, you can afford to pay for the food, clothing, or whatever else you want. If you can't, go without or get a job and earn the money for it.

When I was a little kid I was at a party and there was this kid there who had so many pokemons. At the time they were cool and I had about 50 cards maybe and this kid had well over 1000 organized in this massive binder. I was so jealous that I snuck into his room and took one of each cards that he had duplicates of (he had the duplicates behind each other so he probably never noticed).

The next day at school I was like the coolest kid so I guess I never learned my lesson there.

I also have downloaded music

Karma is a bitch though and I have had over 6 grand worth of stuff stolen from me now.

Oh yeah! I almost forgot. But me and a two of my friends went to this party and all the girls that were there put their purses in this one room so i walked in and had my friends stand out side the entrance (there was no door, which made it a lot harder then it would have been if there was one) to look for people so i just started going through and taking all the money out of the wallets and i came to one and it had over 100 dollars in it. So i gave my friend 25% of what we got in total for helping me. Walked out with about 215 dolalrs i think.

My Friend Allen got caught stealing Pokemon cards from Walmart. (He's 15). Him and his friends drive around Utah and Wyoming snatching up all of the booster packs near the front of the store. They've robbed 6 Walmarts and 2 Target's. And to this day he has no regrets, he refers to him and his gang as Team Rocket. He has an $800 fine and a court date later this month. Walmart knew about this since day one and finally caught up to poor Allen. Luckily for Allen, Walmart let him keep the cards.

a water tank cap for my sail boat (after it was stolen from us by someone else). took it from some run down boat that was sitting in its cradle in the boatyard and hadn't seen water in probably more than 5 years.

Welp, I'm here to be judged. Other than those few cheap candy thefts in my adolescence (what, now 12 years ago or so) I've stolen a few road signs with my friends, although they were already run over and on the ground, and a few wine glasses from a river cruise and one big Hoegaarden pint glass from a large pub.
