I used to steal. All sorts of shit. Then I started stealing from stores. Then I got very very cocky and stupid about it. Then I got caught.
Now I am on 5 years probation and living back at home unable to get a job. I pretty much fucked up the course of my life all for shit I did not need.
But I learned some valuable life lessons, and some real good came out of it, but still fucking sucks. Thankfully I avoided jail time and just got probation.

You got FIVE YEARS of probation just for stealing?
Holy shit what did you try to steal?

A backpack full of Blu-rays, some software other tech stuff and a bottle of ketchup. Like I said, cocky and stupid.
Just got so used to going in, loading up and walking out I got sloppy.

Good, that is a crime with a victim. Well deserving. Don't take what others have earned, or you deserve that. Too bad he didn't end up in jail, I would fully support that.

Hey man, I'm not poppin on americans - the fed is owned by mostly european descent people but really we need to drop the boundaries because it doesn't matter where they are from. Its a global one world pyramid scheme now.
My main point is that theft is a result of a system built on theft.
If we built the system differently there wouldn't need to be any theft at all. The venus project has proposed ways of building societies where ownership is equal and shared but people don't accept that. The call em commies or whatever label they wanna stick on it... end of the day theft is a result of a corrupt environment.
IMO we could build a system without ownership even where we share stuff equally but our human greed and desire to control has not (yet) let us set it up differently.

Stealing X amount of dollars from faceless giant corporations should land him in jail while the same corporations grow exceedingly greedy and rip people off without a care in the world? Makes sense.

Exactly.
Supporting the theft of third world resources while they starve to death to continue the wests massive consumption is apparently OK then? lol People against stealing need to look at the big picture - if they are really against it then you better change your whole lifestyle because we are all benefiting from a system built on theft.

I could have benefited from a little jail time to let it sink in. They wanted to send me away for a year which I think was a little harsh - only a good public defender kept me out. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.
It just amazes me at some the stupid sentences they hand out for crimes, some little crimes get a bunch of jail time and murderers get out in a few years.

this I agree with. it just pisses me off when I bust my ass working a low-paying labor job all day and some douche doesn't have the self-discipline to make a dollar by himself . or when I get stolen from (TAXES). I don't have as much of a problem with stealing from big evil corporations, but I'd rather not steal from anyone and instead fend for myself by myself. and I think a work ethic is a valuable thing to have. IME hard work pays off.

Yeah, I mean. I don't support stealing. I don't do it (except for that one time that I posted about and really do regret even though the story is kinda funny IMO). But five years for a couple hundred bucks? Jesus.

I steal from retail giants all the time, but it's usually just dumb shit that's easy to steal because I love the rush.
Usually when I do, I have enough money so I can say I fully intended on paying for it, I just forgot that it was in my pocket.

Yup. These fools can sit in their comfortable chairs behind their computers and badmouth us shoplifters all they want, but when it comes to making real changes to stop all the fucked up shit going on all around us they won't. Why? because it's too inconvenient. I will speak out and defend the underdog who's getting screwed, the poor third world countries getting exploited from the comfort of my bedroom, but will I step out of my comfortable existence to really lend a hand? Hell no.
We're all immoral. Once we know of an injustice out there, we are morally committed to stopping it. So fuck y'all.

In my teens i used to shop lift a lot to swap my goods for hash and weed.
The main target was big department stores and womens fancy make-up products was the best steal, mostly for size and value, we used to get 50% of what ever the price ticket was from this girl who sold smoke.
The technique
You have one shopping bag and in that bag you would put a paper bag inside lined with foil, then put a t-shirt or something similar in the bottom of the bag so it does not look empty,. Then just walk around the stores browsing like a regular shopper.
Anything that was to be stolen we'd take 2 of the items from the shelf and after a quick examination put 1 item back on the shelf and slight of hand transfer one item into the bag hand, as you put the other back on the shelf you move your bag hand back to by your side then drop the passed item straight into the bag below. The foil lining inside the bag used to stop the tags from setting off the door alarms(I don't know if it still would this was 20 years ago).
We used to go store to store and make a day of it, between 2 of us we'd pull in around £200 shop value of exotic makeup and costume trinket style jewelery and for every £100 worth we used to do a straight swap for an ounce of hash or a half oz of weed.

Stole 5$ when I was 7 years old.
My dad found out about it.
Never stole again... lesson learned.
Although I would totally be up to it. Sometimes when the opportunity arises I think to myself... god damm, I could totally take this and noone would know. Be meh.
If I steal, I'm gonna rob a bank. Nothing less.
