How often do you steal?

    Right I was in the chemist last weekend and casually stole a lipgloss, simply held it in the palm of my hand underneath my wallet and paid for other items I had picked up at the counter.

    Got me thinking, this happens every so often. I hardly ever pay for birthday cards, usually slip them inside a newspaper and pay for that.

    I never steal necessities just things I want and can't be bothered to pay for.

    Actually just remembered this minute that I stole from Macy's in New York (Mac foundation)......that is pretty bad.

    I think it started with stuffing Mr. Freeze's up the sleeve of my school uniform jumper :D.

    So does anyone else steal stuff for fun? If so what kind of stuff and how often?

    Hi Alison

    Still feeling blue due to over-paying for your apartment?

    Do your own research!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭Jaafa


    I don't even.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Stole a few cherry's in my day


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Not since late teens.

    The thought of being nabbed at any age older than that for nicking small stuff would be too mortifying and not really worth it.

    Well I like many others would not 'physically' steal items from shops. However I do download the odd file from the internet and I know that is bold.

    A lesser man than myself, not me mind, but a lesser man, might call you a bit of an itinerant for doing what you do so often.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    I hope you get caught OP.

    How are you fixed for pilfering a 32 inch HD-ready Saorview-approved TV for me? You could slip it inside your newspaper. They'll never know.

    My family does it for me. I keep them in the boiler house. They come out at night and go around the village stealing peoples' essences.

    I did the old ice pop up the sleeve when I was younger. All my friends went through a phase of stealing when they were 14/15.
    Wouldn't even dream of it now. Except downloading, that's the acceptable form of stealing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,133 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec

    He'll probably get caught by the mods.

    Back in the day I accidentally walked out of a newsagents without paying for my copy of the Beano. Ran back to pay for it though; I was a good boy.

    According to my parents I managed to walk out of Dunnes holding a rather fetching set of Flintstones pajamas too, they returned them though.

    I wouldn't do anything that I wouldn't like done to me.

    I take it you'd be perfectly ok if someone stole from you OP? Or is that 'different'?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,882 ✭✭✭johndoe99


    the government has been stealing off us for years, and they get away with it, don't figure.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,541 ✭✭✭Gee Bag

    Are you suggesting the OP should form a gang of thieves?

    Perhaps a less enlightened man than yourself, a cruder man than you -- a man less sensitized to the qualities and charms and value of women -- a man like that; not you, but a man like that: he just might call her an itinerant yeah?

    Thanks McNulty. :D

    OP is clearly a scumbag. Theft is theft. Scum.

    Oh OP, you continue your thievery as you've stolen my heart!

    I hope you get caught and charged to the full extent of the law for the birthday cards and lipglosses though.

    Seriously, what are the bets there will be an article in the Sindo this week exclaiming "<enter percentage of Boards users who say yes to stealing> % of Irish people admit to shoplifting"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭roast


    I remember when I was 10/11, I absent-mindedly picked up a bag of crisps (I think it was meanies) from the shelf in my local newsagents, while the owner was speaking to another customer, and walked out.
    I realised what I did when I was outside, and was mortified. I stuffed the bag of crisps up my sleeve, and walked back in. I leaned down to the shelf again, snuck the crisps out my sleeve and pretended that I just picked them up.
    I then walked up to the counter, and paid my 20p for them.

    Because, I'm not a scumbag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,258 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    There is always one :rolleyes:

    That's a perfectly valid question. Would you mind answering it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,009 ✭✭✭conorhal


    NEVER! I'm as honest as the day is long.... thank God we're aproaching Dec21 the shortest day of the year....



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,750 ✭✭✭ghostchant


    So you have never actually stolen anything....

    Nope. Why would I? Was just borrowing the stuff :p
