Once I stole two fish tank air pumps by sliding them thru a crack between a wall and the fence, in the garden department, at Walmart.  I left them wedged there, then got in my car and drove around.  I rolled down my window, stopped, and then threw them in the passenger side window, slid across my car hood, and hopped in and drove off.  I guess I saved like $30 or something.  It was fun :laugh:


Thieves are big pieces of shit.

Thieves who think they can justify stealing are delusional.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

There are plenty of cameras at Wal-Mart.  If you steal something you will be caught on camera.

Just take that into consideration.

I never understood the logic that if a company is successful they should be punished.

Nah, I don't think so, mainly because places like Wal-Mart and McDonalds are basically corrupt communist/fascists.

I am going to assume sarcasm since fascism is a far right ideology and communists are far left.

I'm going to point it out just in case someone else feels compelled to agree with you.

I think stealing from big corporations, especially small items and if it's plainly because you can't afford it or have better things to spend money on, it's totally fine. Like many people said before, they plan for that, they have money and price changes set aside for theft. And it's not going to effect the small people like us who are working at the registers, or even the big fuck asses making all the money from it.

It really is fine and totally different than if you stole from a small business type of thing. It "I can't afford this but i really need it and these fuckers can afford to give it away for free". My friend and i stole Aeroguard for our mushie hunting the other day because we really needed it and it was way overpriced AND we didn't have enough money to spend on that. It was like a buy food and steal aeroguard or buy aeroguard and starve kinda choice.

They plan for thiefs and include it in their prices. If people don't steal, their prices would be lower. Just because they plan for it, doesn't mean it doesn't increase prices.

Fuck, how hard is it to get this?

if I cant afford it I find some way to come up with the money, if I have
better things to spend my money on, I obviously dont need it, I
certainly dont need anything enough to risk getting locked up had
slapped with a couple of years of probation, is that $20 item with the
$25/mo probation supervision fee or the $1000 fines the courts give you

theft is theft, thieves are typically liars as well so anyone that
claims "I only steal from big box stores because they factor in losses"
are also willing to steal from people, they just tend to lie about it,
and to think about it, if it wasnt for all the thieves, they wouldnt
have to factor in those losses and drive the prices even higher

Well i know for a fact my friend and I hardly ever steal, only when it comes to a choice of something like dinner or toothpaste for the next week. And i also know for a fact we never have and never would steal from a person.

Well, here goes...

Stealing from Wall Mart is a good thing to do. Not only does it allow you to get free stuff that you wouldn't otherwise be able to enjoy, it helps other people too. By stealing you create incentive to prevent theft. Companies that make and install security cameras would fold if people suddenly became honest and nothing got stolen. Wall Mart would need fewer employees too.

Also, statistically speaking, a percentage of the merchandise stolen from Wall Mart is then sold to various small businesses that are then able to sell the products to consumers at a lower price than Wall Mart. If this were to stop, Wall Mart could feasibly move from a dominant position in the marketplace to a total monopoly, at which point they could hike prices to the point that everybody would essentially be slaves to Wall Mart.

That's right, stealing from Wall Mart helps fight slavery. 

Therefore, aside from the humanitarian aspect of it, stealing from Wall Mart creates jobs in at least 3 different areas as well as providing income/free shit to people who share it with me.

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk ...four times already this year and I used to be over by the window and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and its not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire.

And who is going to pay for those extra jobs? Yes, the paying costumers. It's like a tax for everyone but thieves.

Actually, if the stuff you steal is worth less than $100 they just ban you from the store, they won't even call the cops.

Also, in no conceivable reality would Wall Mart lower prices if people stopped stealing. Yeah, if nobody had ever stolen anything, prices might be lower by a quarter of a percentage or so, but life is not a fairy tale, so please stop expecting people to act like it is. As it stands, Theft from large corporations directly helps the people who both need the help and have the initiative to help themselves. It's a win-win.

yes, it gives them a year of probation as a means of help, it fattens
the coffers for the cops and the courts, it's truly a win/win

Like anyone really needs to steal from Walmart. If you are starving go to a shelter, If you need stuff cheaper go to craigslist or ebay. If you want to be a thief just stop trying to justify it like your being fucking noble for it. Your dishonest and thats all that needs to be said.
