What's your favorite thing you/your friend stole?

[Gordon Shumway]

Exactly what the title asks. The purest of y'all need not respond.


So, as a youngin, I was a bouncer at what folks now call South Beach. Got to meet lots of people. My absolute favorite day was meeting Fatboy Slim and Roni Size. Funny enough, Slim and Sony brought a kiosk to the club (The Mission) with a beta for some silly game called Rollcage. Everyone was going nuts over it..likely due to drugs 😏

It was just one stage playing this one song that was infectious..

Gawd DAMN, did that shit just drive everyone in the club wild!

So yeah, my homeboy that I got a job for as a bus boy just walked up and yoinked that shit out of the kiosk. We played the shit out of that thing. Until the game came out, which he also snatched, along with the Blockbuster alpha key lol..many games were played.

How about y'all. What was the most ridiculous thing you or your friend snatched up?

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

My brother stole my Slipknot concert shirt, so I stole his Misfits shirt and Carnifex sweater. I make sure to wear them when I visit him. I've never even listened to Carnifex. The point is I like the sweater.

I had a giant tub of Lego when I was a kid, it was almost as big as me and my friend across the street wanted to borrow it, so I thought sure a day won't harm... He fucking moved out the next day and stole it.

I was 9 and legit felt heartbroken for the first time ever.

I still miss that tub of Lego today.

 

[Flink]

My heart.

 

[daviyoung]

I stole my friends 2nd CD of Now 28 because it had Gloworm - Carry Me Home on it.

 

[rocketskates]

My virginity

 

[MilkyJoe]

A bunch of beer glasses from pubs?

Dude in Tesco never rung up a litre bottle of gin, with the rest of my groceries, i didn't realise until i got out the door though, does that count?

I used to a pretty damn good thief as a child, and became a expert as a teen. I once raided a electronic shop for 17 copies of Diablo (plus three manuals), three Command and Conquer: Red Alerts, and a copy of Wing Commander 4 for Mac all in one go. I didn't steal the boxes though, I unsealed them stealthily and just took the jewel case and manuals. I was obviously on commission.

most gaffers should just say Reddit.

The souls of all those damned fools who thought Ash was gonna win the Kalos League.

 

[nolips]

A friend of mine once stole my bass guitar and traded it for a bicycle ( for himself).

The only thing I've ever stolen was a copy of the PC game «Thief» ( the first one from Looking Glass Studios). At the time I didn't get the irony of it all.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

As a high school sophomore I used to steal ink cartridges from work and then 'return' them at best buy for in-store credit. Got hundreds in credt which I used to buy Anime, because the only thing worse than a thief is a weeb.

OHHH, ok. I was scratching my head until the end lol..

The very same that isn't..

 

[Jack The Nipper]

I just don't care things enough to steal them. Stole some candy when ideas five, comics when I was ten or do but don't really believe in stealing

I don't necessarily condone what you guys steal. I don't think it matters for the most part. I just don't steal and don't feel I ever will

 

[Addi]

Someone borrowed my Game Boy, I said it didn't matter how long they wanted to borrow it since I have a Game Boy Pocket and Advance I can play old games on. Never got it back, man I miss that old brick.

 

[Orpheum]

My friend stole Metroid Fusion. I'm still mad as hell.

off topic: My favorite Band hoodie got stolen in a bar, Bought another one a couple of months later. stolen again at the same place...

There was a four person group stealing hundreds of movies at was mart. They were just piling them into large totes and walking out though. They hit five or so stores before we ended up catching them very shortly after leaving where we got the word out and they were caught at the next store
Long time ago, was in college but I doubt Walmart tech is advancing that much to catch all the thieves they get..

No magnetic strips on the movies? Weird.

 

[Monocle]

I don't know, time? I'm not one for stealing material goods.

Actually I think one time I exploited some sort of deal at Wal-Mart by purchasing some games at a low price and then returning them to another location for a fat gift card. That felt a little shady, but not outright criminal...

They are there it just isn't important they either cut a hole or go through the fence in garden center actually. Or you can do the multi person thing where you go out with someone at random and confuse the door person. Talking loud and friendly and being a good actor with paid products to draw attention to help your group partner keep going is another simple and likely workable strategy.

My friend did that with me and I didn't realize it and went off at the door I had bought a few movies and he had nothing on him and kept moving. I didn't even know he stole anything til he showed me his pellet gun.

Good thieves aren't always easily caught. Anti theft like most rules in life are more an inconvenience for everyone than a true issue for the ones good at breaking it.

A reminds me of a time when my buddy packed a gym bag with clothes from a Jean Jacket, and 'conveniently' left it at the gap between the entrance and the scanning gate. I obviously walked by and took the bag between the gap, and returned the bag to my buddy at the food court a short time later.

lol..Again, same dude would pull this shit. He'd walk out of stores with things sitting inside the hood of his jacket. I was always instantly stopped (big and black) and he'd just walk out with zero issue. Dude couldn't NOT steal wherever we went out..it was annoying, but funny.

Fun fact: He was part of negotiations when Square bought Eidos 😂

 

[acheron_xl]

I worked at a mall cleaning many years ago, and the head of maintenance was an old douchebag that liked to hide pennies in dark corners to try and catch us not cleaning. So I stole the tablespoon he used as a coffee scoop. To this day, 13 years later, it's still my coffee scoop.

Unfortunately a white dude with a black friend would almost always make it cause of stereotypes

Even black with black should work I guess.. And I get where You coming from. Big just makes you stand out more u guess. World really annoys me at times.


To answer your idea further my friend stole...

Halo 2 early, pellet guns, psps, cameras ... Basically whatever he wanted. He worked at the store and was liked. Apparently had big jeans as well.

 

[LionPride]

Only thing I've ever actually stole was a gatorade so...

 

[Machine]

A bar stool stolen from the entrance of a club while the bouncer was distracted. I used that stool for years.

The funniest wasn't something I stole but something I saw stolen. We were at another club one night and while the bouncer was distracted these two dudes walked out with a couch from the entryway, threw it in their truck, and drove away. We couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of the someone bothering to steal a sticky, smelly bar sofa and getting away with it.

 

[Ray Wonder]

I robbed someone, and beat them up. With a couple of my "buddies" when I was 14. I grew up in a bad neighborhood. It's weird how easy it is to end up in those situations. I don't really associate with any of those people anymore. Kinda sad actually.

We got like $30, a hat, and a pair of J's. That's the least favorite thing. I didn't steal much else.

 

[The Albatross]

Last night of one of our favorite bars closing down the bartender basically let us walk away with whatever we wanted, tho he did not have the authority to do that. Friends got a very nice rustic table which had been used as the host stand. We got some coral arrangements and other knickknacks.

Yeah it sucks and it's a very influential age. I remember not cussing but after your around it you just pick it up. I wouldn't have ever been a part of hurting someone but I can see how it happens for someone who isn't exactly in to it.

First post!

My roommate stole my Toro y Moi shirt. I will never be able to retrieve or substitute it. I fucking lived that shirt

 

[Common Knowledge]

When I was a little kid, like in first grade, I stole whatever the hell I wanted from my friends' house, mainly things like Pokemon cards and action figures. If I liked it, I took it. I took stuff from my classroom too.


It was a weird phase that I don't think even lasted a year.

 

[Maximus P]

I loaned my brother my N64 with goldeneye and 4 joy pads and the fucker sold it.

Id come into some money and he had just lost his job so I kinda let him off the hook with the condition that he gave me the money once he was back on his feet.... He never did give me the money back.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Borrowed Baldur's Gate 2 from a school friend back then and never gave it back. Went on to become one of my favourite games ever, no regrets. Would steal again.

 

[demented]

Sims cds with ton of expansions

 

[bjork]

My heart.

This for sure.

give it back

 

[Dervius]

I got into a bad habit that started out as an accident.

I always did my big weekly shop at a huge Tesco supermarket that tooks ages to get around, there were always drinks and such near the door so I thought one day I'd pick up a Lucozade Sport to drink on my way round and pay for the empty bottle at the end. I happened to put it down on a shelf during my shop and forgot about it. Never paid.

This became a deliberate and terrible habit. But we all have to rebel some way don't we?

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

A friend and I once left a cafeteria window open at school one lunchtime just to see if it would be open when we went back that night. It was. We climbed in and came away, for some reason, with 2 fire extinguishers, a step ladder and a Henry Hoover.

Took 'em up the local rec with a bunch of friends and pissed about for the night. Stupid fun times they were.

We were 28 years old.

 

[DonShula]

Worked at McDonalds one summer back in high school. It was during one of the Beanie Baby crazes. They were scared that employees would call in sick during the chaos and they'd be short handed, so they promised every worker who worked all assigned shifts that they'd get a complete set of Beanie Babies. I didn't have a problem with attendance anyway, so at the end of the promotion I was like "where's my stuff?" Yeah, they didn't have a set for me. They said they assumed that not everyone would work all their shifts, so they didn't hold back enough. Shady, but they're toys, so not that big of a deal.

A couple weeks later, I'm down in the basement getting supplies, and I spy inside the locked cage a 3ftx2ft cardboard box overflowing with the damn Beanie Babies. Not just the ones we'd supposedly run out of, but older ones from previous promotions as well. Literally a couple hundred, all individually wrapped in their tiny plastic bags. So I did what any scored teenage fast food employee would do. I snagged the key to the cage, pulled the box out, hid it among some trash, came back two hours later, rolled it out to the dumpers with a bunch of other garbage, hid it behind the grease bin, and then returned after closing to take it.

I gave a bunch away to friends and relatives. Ended up tossing the rest a couple years later. Didn't sell any of them. My first and only heist (at least that I was sober enough to remember).

 

[Brhoom]

My mom and dad would only allow me one kitkat bar each day, so whenever they took a nap I would sneak into their room and steal another one.

 

[Rktk]

A bunch of beer glasses from pubs?

That's me, I can't remember stealing much else but when I haven't finished my drink I'll put the pint glass in my inside coat pocket and finish it on the way to the next place. I've ended up with some nice glasses.

 

[Allforce]

I have a friend who I lived with in my early-mid twenties, shortly after we moved in we went grocery shopping and we're in the hot sauce aisle. He starts putting all of these random bottles of hot sauce in his pockets and I'm blown away, "What the fuck are you doing man?!" and whatnot.

He just looks up at me from one knee and gives me this deathly serious face and says "You NEVER pay for hot sauce, understand?".

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Are you a cahp OP?

lol..Nah. Dude is visiting in a couple, and I just started thinking about all his thievery. Dude had zero chill.

 

[andymcc]

One of my friends in high school stole my super famicom rockman & bass and my lunar silver star story complete for PS1.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I don't know if this counts, but I was a huge Jimmy Eat World fan back in the day. I paid $35ish for an official advance copy of Bleed American about a month before it released that was undoubtedly stolen.

 

[Magnus]

My family honestly thought they were allowed to leave with the beer glasses/tumblers from Medieval Times when we attended the event. I kept telling them no, no you can't take those, but they were adamant that it was fine. Surrounding families and attendees saw this and started taking the glasses too and it spread pretty quickly throughout the arena. People were rushing back to their seats to get their glasses. I was laughing my ass off.
