In a foods/business class of mine I have stolen a bit more than my share of the profits. Usually I get guilty after taking something that isn't mine, but I do majority of the work, so I deserve a little more than everyone else. As for shoplifiting, I can't remember doing it. Well besides a pack of gum here and there.

Wal-Mart is easy if you got a partner...Try getting a middle aged woman(they look innocent)...I might just try the Display trick...

Razor trick? Explain.

Simple, really. You know those annoying plastic packages that CD players come in? You take a razor to it. The only reason I call it a trick is because I don't have a steady supply of razor blades at home, so I take those little screwdrivers they have at Wal-Mart and unscrew one of the switch-razors that they sell. From there, you take one of the razors out, open your package, and put the razor back in.

Stole stuff from my Rite Aid. The usual.

Ugh... I worked at Rite Aid once. Talk about an EVIL company.

I used to steal softballs from a nearby park where some league played. Foul balls were supposed to be returned in exchange for a quarter each, but I managed to keep about thirty altogether. Only once was I caught and I only had to give two balls back, and the next night I was back stealing softballs again. I only kept foul balls and home runs, I never stole any new balls so it wasn't too evil.

I've had some incidents, but 1 that is the best/worst.

 

It was 1997 and I was working at a toy store in the local mall. I was a senior, had a hot ass girlfriend and worked with a couple of my good friends from school. We started just taking Playstation games for ourselves. By the time I had, 10 or so we actually started stealing consoles, and selling them to friends. About 2 months later, we had a perfect system set up. At that time, there was no security devices or cameras in there. I would have a friend come in to work with a bag from "Gap" with an old T-shirt in it. When the manager would go back to his office, I would load 15-25 Playstation games in his bag and around 7-8 Nintendo 64 games. NIN 64 was new at this time. The friend, would take them into this old Movie Rental/Video Game rental/Sales store and sell him all the games, WRAPPED! Naturally, I cut this friend in on 50% as he was doing the shady part. I think my friend was telling the guy that he had a rich, senile, old grandmother who sent him 60 games a week. By this point, we were friends with the kids in the CD and Video stores, so they'd come in and get whatever they wanted, and we'd do the same in their stores. Now by this point about 11 or 12 months have gone by. I never have below $100 dollars in my wallet and on average, just carry around $400 at any given moment. Always ate out at good places, would get older friends to buy MULTIPLE bottles of fine wine and whatnot.

 

The night before graduation, I got busted. Had to pay $10,000.00 to settle out of court and keep my record clean. It wasn't a good summer needless to say. Parents took out loan, I got the first job offered, 3rd shift at a grocery store store which caused a break up with the hotass girl. Morale of the story, DON'T STEAL KIDS! But if you do, LIVE IN STYLE.

 

They estimated 30-40 grand in losses, so the 10 grand settlement was actually getting off way easy.

The problem is tho, you was living way past what you was making, and that got you caught.

 

I've taken stuff from old jobs, but that's because I was quitting anyways, and hated the place

Not really stealing..but I worked at Mills Fleet Farm, and was in the maintence dept...and one of the duties included cleaning the coin-op vaccum cleaners at the car wash. Sometimes I could find upwards of $20-$30 total.

I steal from Target pretty regularly. I'm friends with most of the cashiers, so I just have them drop CDs and whatnot in the bag without ringing them up. They're all tight with the security people, so it doesn't matter how many cameras are on or not -- nobody ever sees anything.

 

Oh, and I steal all KINDS of food from the restaurant I work in. It's ****, so there's some good shit to be had.

Exactly how is that not stealing?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but while cleaning those vaccuum cleaners, you "find" $20-30 that the customers had paid to use the vaccuums...take it...and then not consider that stealing?

 

I'm confused.

I think he meant he found money that was sucked in from people's cars and shit. Not money people PAID with.

 

At least, that's how I took it.

That's exactly how my mom got 2 1/2 years in prison.

Yeah, alright, it's that what he meant, then that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

I got accused of stealing by a manager at the Bob Evans I worked at once.

 

We weren't supposed to eat while on the clock (a restaurant that doesn't allow paid lunches...or actually gives you consistent lunch breaks. 40 hours a week and maybe one break the entire week. Anyway!). But it was generally understood that at closing, you could eat the extra rolls without any problems since they'd get thrown out anyway. Hell, one manager would note how many were left and start asking us if we wanted them.

 

Then one night the morning manager was working because the normal night manager was on vacation. Closing hits, they mark how many rolls are left. A minute or two later I grab one not even thinking about it. This manager catches me chewing and tells me "eating food on the clock can be considered stealing. I could write you up for it." Since this was my rare night with a lunch break, I told her that I was entitled to two rolls with my lunch (that I paid for) and didn't take them then, so I was justified in eating one now if I so chose to. She shot me this dirty look and said, "Just don't let me catch you again."

 

Anyway, word got around about it (since I basically got a public chewing out over it), so when the night manager came back he goes, "What's this I hear about Bobbie yelling at you over a roll?" I asked if I would have been fired for putting butter on the damned thing, he left, and I never heard another word about it.

 

And the only thing that really pissed me off about it is I was actually still working while I ate it, so it's not like I was stealing time or something.

Hell, that ain't stealing. At all the Fast Food places I worked, I would train new blood while making my own personalized dinner sandwiches...
