i like how your shoplifting ass can even bring up moral standards in a conversation haha.
you mean to say you cant go to jail from robbing a store?! 
some weed dealers are easy marks and not hustlers at all (high schoolers anyone?). if you had any brains u would know that. 
anyways in my opinion you are no better than a crackhead who robs for crack. robbing to support a drug habit is the lowest of moral standards. which again makes me laugh cus for some reason you think you have them. unless im missing something.
BTW robbing a hustler is the ultimate form of hustling... duh

i didn't rob to support a drug habit.
i was a klepto
i had a bad case of OCD in high school and I STOLE EVERYTHING if it belonged to a retail chain. With enough pot i finally got it under control. stealing and making money eventually worked together. not only did i buy pot, i also bought FOOD! OMG! I'm such a crackhead! I bought food with money from stolen goods.
I AM ADDICTED TO FOOD. I can't live without it. I get all skinny and gross and go into withdrawal if I don't have it.
I need to go to an FA meeting.
But seriously, how can you feel bad if you steal from a corporation in an attempt to destroy a system you despise, that you see ruining people's lives? The consumer culture in this country backed by large corporations has us all alienated from each other and identifying ourselves by what we consume: by what we wear, eat, drive, watch... not to mention these corporations pressure people to overspend on their credit cards, ruining their lives with debt. and yes, it is partially their fault that they can't see through their own gluttonous haze, but really it's a bad situation for everyone.
large department stores have also run local businesses out of town. now everything is homogenized.
in your opinion, i shouldn't risk sounding "immoral" by saying that i'm proud i've struck a blow, however small, against a corrupt and despicable system that has hijacked our country and turned everything, even our own identities, into a product.
but i'm not going to back down, sorry. stealing a TINY amount of merchandise from a HUGE corporation isn't wrong. it just isn't.
FUCK THEM. If they go out of business, awesome.

BTW all the clothes i stole were manufactured by children in bangladesh for around 2 dollars. i'm sure 200 dollars for a hoodie included theft insurance.

You're assuming your line of thinking is correct. Other's would disagree. A better alternative would be to move to somewhere that doesn't subscribe to all the corporate "bullshit", or try and do something to change it instead of just being a piece of shit. I don't care if you were hungry, get a fucking job.

the local ski slope (nothing spectacular, not worth $25 lift ticket for 3 hills), had black text on white background for lift tickets. So, the text was duplicated in the same font/size/spacing on a computer, then printed onto label paper (has an adhesive backing).
Once labels were printed, wax could be rubbed onto the label to make it water-resistant, then the sticker (with current date) stuck to an old lift pass. I think they caught on to this somewhat, as sometimes lift operators would go through the line marking up tickets with a sharpie to see if they bleed, but the wax coating prevents this and the tickets pass unless one gets a good look up close.
Although I haven't felt inclined to go in the past few years, used to make philly folk fest (big thing locally here) in the same manner, using card stock and elmers glue spread over the surface to make it gloss.
And to the people who print fake money to buy drugs off unsuspecting drug dealers, if you are lucky they will throw out the money or use it on someone else, in either case printed money is a felony with stiff penalties, not really worth it for some drugs.
Oh, and I think it's pretty ingenious, whoever thought of putting a device on ATMs to capture magstripe and pin... that's craziness! If I ever foun
\ actually i have been considering this. i want to learn to snowboard this year, and im going to probably have a damn hard time paying for lift tickets, so i figured that if i bought one and then scanned it, and printed it on a nice shipping label, it might work.
i figured that i could rough it up a bit to show some wear and tear, like i had fallen on it a few times. who knows if that would work though. i havent relly hit the hills in a few years.

at colleges and universities you can go around campus and look for unattended books. like in the restroom when people leave thier books and bags on a shelf while they take a piss.
grab the books and sell them back to the book store. college books are pretty expensive. you can usually get like $50 per book.

most of these scams aren't even possible, especially the digging the duplicate out of the dumpster trick. My mom runs a pharmacy, and that's just not possible on so many levels that I'm not even going to list. I'll just say that all scripts are checked through a nationwide database, and you can't get a refill for anything the next day, especially any scheduled substances. fucking retards. that sounds like some plan you devised while sitting around passing a bong with your other retarded friends, or something that may have worked 10 years ago.
anyway, here's my scam I used to run:
I used to wait tables and we got a new POS system. (not piece of shit, but point of sale). anyway, to enter an order into the system you would select a "table" then indicate the number of tops, or customers, then enter an order for each top, which was assigned a number. each top had to have at least a drink order.
so, say a group of 4 people come in and you know they are going to want separate checks. and they all order a coke. Well, instead of assigning each top a coke, I would assign one top a coke and the other tops water, then all the usual food orders. Next i would print off their tickets, but I would re-assign the coke to each top, so when they get their check they pay me the amount that looks correct to them (food + coke). Now if you've never waited tables, I'll tell you how things work at the end of a shift. You run a report on all the tables you waited on that night, then there is an amount of cash that's due to the restaurant for the food, and you pay that, then whatever is left over is your tips.
and that's why I was never caught. The report only ran sales for that day, so it's not like I was voiding crap off. Plus employees get free drinks, and there are free refills, so there's no way to keep inventory on how many drinks are sold.
it adds up, as drinks were $1.50. This also worked on the buffet we used to have. if a table of 4 came in for buffet, i'd only enter a table of 1 and print the same receipt off 4 times. That was some good money, as the buffet + drink was about $10.

That's probably the lowest one I've heard in here. Seriously. If I ever saw someone doing that I would blow them in in a fucking second.

Yeah that's completely fucking lame. Stealing from corporations is one thing.. stealing from individual people is a whole nother ballgame.
Maybe I'm just biased because I passed out in a chair at ASU for 10 minutes, with my bag in my LAP and some fuckhead dickweed took off with my backpack, that had:
- My digital camera with pictures of me and my girl in it, (the only copies) who had just come to visit me from 3,000 miles away, whom I hadn't seen in over 3 years. - My birth certificate, passport, and my social security card. - a $150 pair of headphones - my mp3 player with my entire music collection on it - A memory stick that had ALL my photos and documents stored on it (again... no backups) - $50 (All the money I had)
And a bunch of other important papers and sentimental shit. I had all this shit in there because I was moving, and getting ready to get on an airplane, in 4 hours. And it's not like I'm rich either. Far fucking from it. I'm a poor SOB. To this day, a year later.. I have not been able to replace anything except for my social security card.
I swear to god I woke up and saw it was missing I started running around that fucking campus if I saw someone with my bag I was gonna knock their fucking lights out and probably beat them within half an inch of their life. But the cocksucker got away. Lucky for him because he probably would have winded up in the ER and me in jail for attempted murder.
Moral of the story: Don't steal personal shit from actual people. Because if someone like me catches you, I will fucking run you down and mercilessly beat the living shit out of you with my fists, a crowbar, or whatever other blunt object is within my immediate vicinity. I don't give a fuck. That shit is just wrong. Steal from wal-mart all day all fucking long, I couldn't care less. Steal what little I have from me or my friends, that shit is personal. Perhaps if I was rich I wouldn't care as much, but I'm not, and I do.

Um, just so you know StonedShroom, that "manager only overnight" law doesn't apply everywhere, how can you assume that? lol.
I worked overnight at the local gas stations many, many times..
And a friend who worked at Tim Hortons actually did this scam and got away with it.

Stealing from people is definitely not cool.
When I was in high school I beat the shit out of a kid for stealing a pencil out of my backpack. I beat him so bad his family tried to sue me for medical expenses and I got expelled from my school.
Yea it was just a pencil, but I wasn’t about getting disrespected. Plus it was a damn fine pencil. 
So yea, that was one surprised mother fucker.
Point is, you never know how the person you’re stealing from is going to react. You could wind up in a world of shit.
