2. 1 Playgirl magazine, clothes for Planet of the Apes action figures, a Rona
Edited on Fri Apr-29-05 11:39 PM by mondo joe
Barrett gossip magazine, and some money from my grandmother's purse (probably $12) that I used to buy more Rona Barrett gossip magazines.

11. Nothing. I pondered it, though.
I once pondered stealing money from my mom's purse, but I never did. I'm glad I never got into stealing.

all of it.

I'm the only one with a list?

18. I think I unwrapped a piece of green apple bubble gum
And popped it into my mouth at the grocery store when I was about 8. Please don't tell the Texas board of bar examiners about my youthful indiscretion! Otherwise, I was a model citizen (and still try to be).

19. Eyeshadow, money, and cigarettes -- all from Mom's purse.
Her purse was like a treasure chest to me. She always knew. We laugh about it now.

15 years old, four friends and I took it right out of the back of a unattended delivery truck, and just walked away. Not proud of it.

23. Booze! I forgot about booze. Hmm, the summer of my 16th year I replaced my
parents' vodka with at least 50% water on a regular basis.

Yeah, I guess that's stealing, too. Dang. I was bad.

I learned my lesson early.

Haven't stolen a thing since.

It was a Columbia recording of Bach violin concertos.

27. I used to
steal cigarettes from my mom and dad for my older brother. They were always on guard around him. He would pay me a nickel apiece for them (when he was flush) or NOT smack me (when he wasn't).

30. Nothing as an adult.
I have quite the aversion to it, even just a few cents over in change gets returned to the store.

When I was five, I put a container of Tic Tacs in my coat pocket, but my mother heard them rattling around and made me return them to the store manager and apologize, then I got ten licks with a belt at home.

That cured me for life.

32. Victoria's Secret nightie, green satin with black lace. I was 17.
and no, I wasn't a ho! The girl I was with was, and she totally peer pressured me into doing it. It was horrible. We didn't get caught, but I have felt guilty ever since. I still have it 14 years later.

The irony is, she was (and still is) one of the richest people I know. she had her own WING in her parents house. she was mega-rich.

42. I switched the price tag on a tennis racket once.
I pulled off a clearance sticker from another item and stuck it on the racket that I wanted (a Wilson Defender, IIRC). Within a half hour of getting it home, I felt so guilty that I took it back to the store and got a refund. A couple of weeks later, I had saved up the allowance money necessary to pay the regular price for it so I went back to the same store and bought it.

It was a pretty good racket for a 7th grader.

Seriously who can list everything they stole as a kid? Kids have a pretty loose sense of property.

P.S. and no I don't feel guilty. I'm surprised so many people do. You start out with nothing that is yours as a kid so what choice do you have? Especially when you're too young to work, you either steal or you're getting a hand-out and having to ask someone for the money or item. Screw that. I wasn't going to be a beggar.


The conservation movement is a breeding ground of communists
and other subversives. We intend to clean them out,
even if it means rounding up every birdwatcher in the country.

49. Gum balls
But the top was off the machine!

Most of my stealing was done when I worked at a Majik Market, for minimum wage. They didn't pay me enough to buy food, so...

51. "Everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask."
The local public library actually had this book on the shelf. I was afraid to try to check it out, and as a 14 year-old I doubt they would have let me.

I walked out of the library with it in my backpack. After a couple of months my friends and I had each read it a couple of times, so I dropped it in the return box.

I guess I didn't really steal it, I just borrowed it without permission.

53. I stole loads of stuff-money, records, makeup and clothes
and since my dad was big in Corrections here and later on a lawyer, the intent I formed was this. "I will quit stealing when I am 18" (we did not have the 'Charge them as adults so much in my day).

And I did. quit, that is. I did not even take pens home from work.
