yeah it was a dare really...way back in high school me and some of my friends shoplifted and we sometimes talk about these things when we had time getting together after how many years..The crying game we went through because some of my friends were caught...after that incident we never did it again...thinking that we belong to 1st section of the class...

i dont think so. if i ever did, it was probably unintentional or by accident without realizing it. i never felt the need to take another. God provides me with whatever i need and i never really felt i lacked anything.

No!But I witnessed one.What happens is,a small boy took a handful of rice from the jute bag .But the shopkeeper caught him redhanded.I was wondering how the shopkeeper was to react.The boy being very small,he warned and adviced him as well and let him go.

Big companies that exploit child labor and treat workers unfairly, and resrict women from high positions like WalMart deserve to be stolen from. I dont want my 8.99 T-shirt money going into some disgustingly right CEOS pocket when they claim its going into the childs hands. They use FTZ free trade zones in which it is technically legal to treat workers in other countries that way.

I have never shoplifted. Unfortunately not to long ago, upon leaving the mall I found out that each one of my children had taken a piece of candy from a store that should have been paid for. They both claimed that they thought the candy was free. I took them both back to the store and made them tell the store clerk what they had done and then we paid for the candy. I know that they were both extremely embarrased by this whole process. I hope it taught them a valuable lesson and that it will never happen again!!

I had shoplifted once when I was in secondary school. However I didn't do it, it was my friend who did it. I told her I had not enough money to buy the stickers which my teacher asked us to buy. She also told me that she had no enough money. I kidded with her, telling if we just steal the thing it won't cause us a dime. She laughed at my idea, but then looked at me with something going on her mind. She said she is willing to take the thing with her. I was surprised because she seemed to be such a nice girl. I never thought she would do such a thing. But I was influenced by her and she said it would be alright and don't feel scared. So she took the thing and put it inside her pocket. We get out together and when we came out of the supermarket we laughed out loud because we were happy not being caught. Later when I came home I looked at the stickers and I thought what a shameful thing we had done. The next day I told her I regretted giving her this idea and I didn't want her to do it again. She said the same thing to me. She also regretted and never wanted to repeat the act.
