Breaking the law!!!...

Re: Breaking the law!!!...

I stole a kitkat once when I was 10 from my local shop because my friends dared me to. Never again! I was terrified for weeks after that whenever I went in there in case I was found out.

When I was 8 I went to buy a packet of Honey Menthol Tunes from the local sweet shop which was run by a very very old husband and wife. I waited ages for one of them to come out from the back and serve me but no one did so I left the shop. I got almost home and then turned back and took them back and put them back where I'd taken them from. Still no one came out so I gave up and went home.

I reckon I was a thief for less than five minutes in total.

I never stole anything as a kid ..... but we did light fires in wasteland when making dens, and loved taking part in a good old 'scrap' with rival schools! (never arrested or cautioned I hasten to add)

I never had the nerve to steal anything as a kid. My mam always said I had a bit of a natural shifty look about me anyway (mothers are always full of compliments aren't they!) so it was enough of a concern not to live up to my swag bag-wielding face!

According to my mother, what my mate Paul and I got up to in his bedroom in 1977 was illegal in Scotland until 1980......

I've never stolen anything but I did go through a spell of taking cartons of rotten cress that were regularly left by a dustbin and posting them in postboxes. I'm sure it must be an offence to drop rotting cress onto the queen's image but at the time it struck me as hilarious that the postman would be baffled at where they were all coming from. I was easily amused

I remember taking some cars from some rich kid who lived in a big house that used to be behind my school playing fields. One day I heard someone say that the owner of the cars was upset because his stuff had gone and he didn't have many friends due to being the rich kid out of all the working class families in the area. Out of guilt I took them back and left them where I found them.

I stole a tamagotchi-a-like toy from a DIY place that sold all sorts of stuff among the wallpapers and paint. I had no idea if it actually belonged to the store, or whether someone had just lost it as it had no packaging. Still, I saw the opportunity and lifted it. I sort of wish I hadn't because looking after one of those was more demanding than looking after a real pet.

During my Amiga days I copied loads of games which is a kind of stealing. I actually felt so guilty about screwing certain programmers I sent them a letter sometime in the early 2000's telling them what I did and that I was sorry for it. Some of them even wrote back saying it was cool and they were just glad I played their games and had such fond memories of them. I guess for some people just getting the game out there is what they want, the bottom line thing is just a bonus.

Re: Breaking the law!!!...

i broke the law when i stole a carrott from the local greengrocer.
cannot remember what age i was at the time.

[ClaudineJones]

Re: Breaking the law!!!...

No this is watercress Darren;




You'd have to be deranged to put watercress in a postbox. Cress comes with its own soil in nice, conveniently sized plastic cartons

sf1378.........a bit .

Re: Breaking the law!!!...
