Crazy junkie schemes

Talk about some crazy, sad, funny schemes that you've heard of junkies pulling in an attempt to get drugs. Things that normal people wouldn't dream of doing, which make for a good story.
I can think of one story right off the bat. A co-worker of mine has a junkie niece. The niece and her boyfriend are hooked on opiates (mostly). One time they were completely out of money and drugs, so they rolled around in poison ivy, naked or nearly naked. They believed that the hospital would give them pain pills for this. They obviously didn't get any pain pills.

What? Please tell me you're joking. And if not, tell me the hamster was dead already when he ate it.

When your scheming about some shenanigans for drugs, you need to check yourself in rehab

I knew a dude that would shop for receipts in the parking lot, go pick the stuff out in the store and walk straight to the return desk and return it. He tried this at target 
Another dude used food stamps to buy a huge thing of coffee at walmart then returned it to get cash.
I'm pretty sure someone I know purposefully broke his arm to get pain pills.

My step sister would get teeth pulled for the Vicodin script. Teeth are perfectly fine, not sure how she got the dentist to do it, but she did it repeatedly.
My dad used to do the "Find a receipt and go get the items and return them for cash" thing.. He tried to even get me to use my license to do it once. Just so he can get more rocks. Fuck that.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

One dude I went to rehab with was telling me he'd steal copper wire and then give tweakers free meth to strip the rubber off
another dude stole people's unattended textbooks at the campus library and unlocked bicycles outside dorms (that's fucking low)

Benzo junkie on here just ripped Viva off for 180 dollars. Dude had a bad trade rating for doing the same thing to someone else. I'd never front money to anyone here for "life problems" during the midst of a drug addiction.

Not really a junky shenanigan, but in high school we printed off fake money, to buy a quart of dro off some kid who fucked us over twice before. Only reason it happened twice was cause we were nice and gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought he wouldn't try it twice. Well he did so we hit him up for a quart of dro, and he shows up with 5 gs of regs, we hand him the money (looked and felt faker than shit) he glanced at it and said cool thanx. Ten minutes later hes blowing up my buddies phone pissed as shit. Fucker got what was coming.
I should have mentioned the cash amount since bud prices fluctuate so much from area to area. The proposed deal was we would buy 120 dollars worth of bud, with 120 fake bills. We ended up getting 40$ worth of bud for free. 
Another thing someone else wanted to do to this scumbag, was get some fake rolls, knock his ass out, and have a girl call the cops on him saying she saw someone get knocked out, and leave the rolls in him. She would be calling from a payphone, and yes payphones still exist in some areas.(easily this guy was the most hated guy in our high school)

Some of the guys I knew through mutual associates would go around right before Christmas and snatch packages off people front porches and shit. When I first heard them talking about this I said something to the effect of "wtf is wrong with you, you are literally the grinch stealing people's Christmas gifts". It really lowered my opinion of them, and normally I'm pretty tolerant, so I think it caught them off guard. They acted like they felt so bad, and started going on annoying rambles every time they got fucked up about how I was such a good kid and a good influence on them, I guess because I did drugs and wasn't an absolute bottom feeder that was really something to them . I know it continued though. Worst part about it is that most of this group had relatively wealthy families who would pay their rent and shit like that, and still they had no problem sinking to any level to fund their habit.
I eventually had to cut them all off when I got clean.
Anyways apparently one time one of these kids was doing the grinch scheme all blacked out on xanax, adderall, and god knows what else. The kid loses his car, with the keys in it and the engine turned on. It wasn't stolen, it wasn't towed (not right away at least), he lost it while wandering around the neighborhood stealing packages. So he calls someone and gets a ride home, or walks I forget what he said, and barely remembers any of this the next day, but a couple of days later investigators call him or his dad or something, because the car was found with the keys turned in the ignition, out of gas, in that neighborhood with a bunch of stolen property in it. I think they lawyered up and last I heard they were just trying to avoid prosecution, refusing to talk about it and just calling the car a total loss, not even going to pick it up or anything because they thought it would be incriminating. It was so crazy to me that someone could do that, and then just go about their fucked up life not making any changes.
Honestly the fact that there are so many people like that in the scene is what drove me to get on maintenance, there was plenty of other drama around them. I figured it was only a matter of time before they dragged me down with them. I get the feeling that they're all potential snitches too (I know for a fact some are). Just no backbone whatsoever. Sometimes I still get calls, and they always act like they're just trying to catch up, but then it always get around to asking me for some sort of favor. Sometimes these requests can just be ridiculous too. It is so nice not having to put up with anything like that anymore.

I know a girl that broke her arm on purpose to get pain meds at the doc, also another girl I know would steal copper out of AC units, she got arrested doing that and did a small stint in jail.
Three friends stole TV's from bestbuy, somehow they would take them out a service door/or back door, the specifics were vague but I remember my buddy did a year in prison for it.
I know hella folks that have pulled smash/grab "licks" as the kids call it, they would kick in someones door and steal whatever they could of value, this one guy stole a bunch of golf clubs and pawned them at play it again sports, which was funny because they only give you cash once your items sell so he had to wait a bit.
I wont even mention all the guys/gals I know that do sexual favors for cash to fix, it's common place within the junkie crew I used to kick it with.
So those stories aren't that crazy, pretty normal junkie behavior if you ask me, but hey it's what I have to share.
