Yes, when I was in grade 5 or 6. I got caught, and it scared the sh!t out of me so much, that I'm scared to break rules now, as an adult.

I stole a stupid little gel sticky hand that you use to attach itself to things far away, and pull them closer to you. I had no clue anyone was watching me, but then some plainclothes guy caught me. I bawled my face off that day, mainly out of fear of my mother's wrath!! LOL!!

The lesson I learned from it, was "no matter how smart an secretive you are being, and how sure you WON'T get caught, someone out there is smarter than you, and you'll be found out, so don't bother." It's funny that I didn't learn "stealing is wrong", or anything like that.

Yes, when I was 14 or so, but I like to think of it as a transfer of goods without the inconvenience of a monetary system.

Sorry, I missed yesterday's question. My two most outstanding features, as those in my gym class can attest, are my left nut and right nipple - particularly since the cosmetic surgery.

Nope!

Seems that most stories of those who get caught as kids end in the kids getting the crap scared out of them. My brother took a pack of gum when he was little (he's older). My mom found out and took him back in and she wanted the grocer to scare the crap out of him. I think it worked. LOL

Yep, I was 4 and took a pack of gum from the aisle at the grocery store. When we got home and mom was putting away groceries I asked if I could have it. She bundled both of us right back up, walked us back to the store and made me give it back and apologize. Haven't took nothing since.

Yep, when I was 13. A friend and I did it to see if we could get away with it. The first time, she stole some nail polish, and didn't get caught, so the next time it was my turn. I stole some makeup and got caught big time by store security. We were taken in the back room, they took our pictures, called our parents. We were told we could never come back to the store ever ever again. I never did it again, that's for sure.

Yup. Once, when I was 11. I got caught by my mother, had to return the item and apologize to the manager. I can't remember what it was, but it was something small (a candy bar, I think). Never did it again!

I remember the first time I realized that what I was doing was wrong. When I was a wee lad I guess maybe 4 or 5 I use to ask my mom for food, and she'd always say no we don't have any of that, and that she would have to remember it the next time she went to the store. Well being the self sufficient kid I was I use to just walk up to the store and get it myself. My favorite food was always bananas, so that was pretty much what I took everytime. I think I had done this several dozen times before my mom realized what I was doing. I guess it was a dead give away when I walked in the house with an arm full of bananas. Of course my mom set me straight about taking stuff without paying for it, what was really funny was that the people in the store saw me doing it and never said a word.

Now I won't go into detail about how many times I shoplifted, or when I finally grew out of it, but lets just say it was a bunch.

Once - a pack of sesame seeds (25 cents). I felt so guilty I went back later and left a dollar at an empty till

Once when i was 5, a loose baseball card (not in the pack) from a Wawa store. I returned it out of devastating guilt.

Yup- When I was about 5, I took a candy bar that my Mom had said "no" to in the grocery store. I slid it up inside my sleeve, then when we got to the car, I tossed it on the ground under my side of the car and pretended to "find" it under there while tying my shoe. LOL gee how clever. My mom made me go back inside and return it. I was pretty embarassed at how see-thru my great plan was.

When I was a freshman in HS, I stole a pair of shoes on a dare from friends. I wore an old raggedy pair of sneakers into the store, took them off and tried on a new pair. I took the tags off the new pair and followed some people right out of the store. I felt really, really stupid about doing a dare, and guilty about the shoes, but was too scared to try to return them and explain anything. I told my Mom I bought them with my own money.

I've been a good girl since then.
