The Lighter Thieves Thread

Everyone does it.... No one likes it....
Sometimes I come home with 7 lighters in my pocket, other times someone has taken my only lighter....
I want to see a court case one day over the theft of a lighter, but not from a store, like a friend vs friend lawsuit. Do you think that could possibly hold up in court? maybe a multiple lighter pilfering charge? "your honor, over the last 4 years, this man has stolen 114 lighters from me".
Also, there needs to be a National Lighter Theives Guild, or maybe a Fraternal Order of Lighter Theives.It could be a worldwide force, we could hold Bic hostage by only targeting their lighters forcing everyone to purchase those other crappy brands where the flint rolls out or the wheel gets stuck. I can see an opposing coalition of anti-lighter theives emerging, trying to pass legislation to make lighter theivery a finable misdemeanor....
Ok, getting carried away....post some stories, or express your anger of lighter theives here.....or just think of some more ideas to further an argument for your cause, be you on either side of the issue.

I do it.
I'm a victim of it.
Lighter thievery runs rampant!!!
What's the deal with this?
Why is is somewhat acceptable to gank lighters?
I don't get it.

Yeah....we have all seem to come to the understanding that no one really owns a lighter. This could even be considered something like subconscious communism! First the propane tanks, and now this! what will the world come to if we actually start sharing something on a mass level?

I don't smoke anything so I doubt I even own a lighter let alone have one that I stole from someone.

my friends used to hate me for stealing lighters. all the time they would be like..
"dude, give me back my fuckin lighter"
"nah man I don't have it"
"you haven't even checked and you say you don't have it"
"dude when I say I don't have it, i don't have it. mmmk?"
*friend checks for 10 minutes for a lighter*
"..Oh shit is yours the green one?"
"no"
"well its not mine"
"well its not mine either"
*huh*
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

Lighters are like change, scattered all over my house, in my pockets, car, bags. I don't cry over missing lighters.

A group of people i used to hang around with had the concept of "if you exited the house with one or more of someone else's lighters they were officially yours" sad isn't it.
There is something satisfing about hoarding lighters though, or changing someones lighter to a different coloured one and acting innocent when they notice so they think they're going crazy

haha, that's funny mikey.
I accidently stole a couple lighters, and I've had a few taken. It mostly happens after a long smoking session when everyone is too stoned to care about ownership, someone just puts the lighter in their pocket.
What's cool is finding a lighter you thought you lost, or being out and about and finding a lighter on the ground full of fuel.
