Eventually. Link's Awakening, Oracle of Seasons, Donkey Kong Land, etc.
She did. I told her the truth. We moved on. She was more concerned about the happiness of her child with a Gameboy than anything else lol.

I still owe Stan Lee about 30 dollars worth of Spider-Man comics that I stole from the supermarket 20 years ago. Sorry Stan, check's on the way.

If any of you ever found a Famicom Gameboy Micro, complete with a 100% completed copy of FFTA inside, on a counter inside a retail Blockbuster store, let me know so I can track you down you son of a bitch

I'd imagine. That's why I did it lol, but it didn't take long for me to feel a little sorry about it. I also had my phone stolen in high school but phones weren't quite as important back then and I didn't do anything about it so it's not terribly interesting.

It was a gameboy someone left at the store, not one the store was selling.

You looked around and it didn't seem to belong to anyone. At that point I probably would have done the same at that age. Otherwise it would've just gone to the next kid!
Remember tamagochis?
Yeah, I remember not being allowed to get one.
So when I was out with my parents at a garden centre they for some reason, had them on a shelf there.
When they where not looking I burried that shit inside a potted plant they were buying.
Sure, stealing is bad and of course it was wrong but I can't help to think how smart of a plan I came up with as a kid. Desperate times desperate measures.

Your future self left it there so you would carry this guilt all of these years. It prevents this whole horrible ordeal based on greed with the hooker and the meth. Not the male hooker, that turns out fine, the other hooker. Anyway, good thing you kept it because you have to go back and leave it once 2025 rolls around. You still have it, right?

When I was a kid I had this neighbor that was like 4-5 years older than me. I was like 6 and he was like 10 or 11. He convinced me to steal from the local drugstore with him.
We'd steal pointless shit like office supplies. I had tons of awesome staplers and legal pads/leather folios.
We got busted one time and one of the guys working there grabbed my friend by the arm. I was standing there like a deer in headlights with a Snickers in my pocket as my friend yelled "run!"
I ran as fast as I could and the guy chased me about half a block before giving up. I circled back into an alley and once I knew I lost him, I took the Snickers out of my pocket and took a bite. It made me sick to my stomach so I threw it on the ground.
I stopped stealing after that.

I used to steal baseball cards from my local grocery store when I was a kid. I felt guilty every time I did it except that one time I got a Ken Griffey Jr rookie card then I felt satisfied and never stole again lol.
I love you.

I once stole a Zapdos card from a kid on the bus. When I told my brother, he said I had to give it back. So I returned it... and I still feel like shit.

I stole my friend's copy of the Gameboy Pokémon TCG game back in the day. He lived about an hour away since I had moved recently and I knew his mom wasn't going to wait for him to find his shit so I hid the game in my room and when he had to go home he had to leave it behind and it became mine.
On the flip side of this some kid in my neighborhood stole my copy of Pokémon Crystal but I got it back because the save had my name on it and I told my mom who ripped his mom a new one for raising a thief lol.

How do you think I got such a massive Pog collection? With my so-called allowance, mom?? Don't make me laugh.
You can call me a bad guy, but stealing Pogs from 7-11 was the only way I could survive on the playground. Only god can judge me.

I mean, he would've been 53 back then, so yeah, accurate.

Stealing from large corporations isn't that bad. Stealing from every day people tho? Monster.

Once soon a time my dreamcast stopped recognising my game discs, so I bought a 2nd hand dreamcast from a pawn shop, swapped the GD drives and returned it for a full refund.
Felt pretty bad about that, not proud at all.

Same here. Was at Wendy's. Some asshole stole it with all my games.

Does that really count as stealing? I would say not according to Finders v. Keepers (1776).

I traded this one little kid back in the day like 25 non-holographic Pokémon cards for his holographic Charizard. He had no idea what he had and took the awful trade.
That's the closest I ever got to stealing.

I had the dark blue one when EVERYONE else had the see-thru purple one. Someone at camp stole mine, and I spent a week checking bags in the changing area in hopes of finding a dark blue one, and finally found and stole one
I felt bad about stealing it but my mom would literally have murdered me because she didn't want me to take it to camp and of course it got stolen the first day I brought it, and that logic worked on 10 year old me
