for the sticky fingered out there...how many of you have ever gotten a 5-finger discount? just wondering what percent of the (eden) population has ever done this, be it when you were 4 years old and didn't really understand, or when you were grown and stole for thrill, necessity, due to peer pressure, or whatever other reason.private poll, we won't tell! less

I took a thong from Victoria's Secret once, ages ago. It was 12 bucks. I ain't paying 12$ for a piece of fabric that doesn't cover my ass.

I don't really regret it, but I don't think I'd feel comfortable shopping there again, either.

I also stole some monopoly pieces when I was little and told everyone I got them from my travels around the world... :| less

Nope, but I was once accused of shoplifting.

I was looking around in a store for about 2 minutes, when a manager approached me and asked me what I did with the red striped sweater I "was just holding". I hadn't even seen a red striped sweater that day and told him so. He went on about how he and one of the employees had seen me carrying it. I told him this was ridiculous, and walked promptly out of the store. Next thing I know, I'm approached by mall security guards, the manager of the store, and the employee. Then there was a 20 minute period of questioning/taking down information, and threats of how the cops will be called if I don't turn over the sweater. I dumped my bags and the manager and shop employee still insisted that I had that sweater (though it was nowhere to be seen).

Such a ridiculous ordeal, especially as I had never seen the red striped sweater to begin with.

I sent a nice letter (and made a few phone calls) to the stores headquarters, though nothing ever came of it. In fact, both the manager and store employee are still working at that store (8 years after the fact). less

I was, maybe, 8. I found a piece of candy that comes in a bigger bag, but are packaged separately, but can't be sold separately. Told myself they were going to sweep it up and throw it away. Since it was in a lil plastic wrapping I stuck it between my foot and flip flop and kinda hobbled out of the store. I felt horrible for it for years. Then I realized it really would have just gotten thrown away! So... is that shop lifting? Lol.

When I was 7 or 8 yrs old I stole a candy bar from a drug store and got caught by security. They took me in room and had me sit there while they called the police. When the police arrived, they put me in the squad car and gave me a ride home. Scared the hell out of me. Never stole again after that episode. less
