I have...a couple years ago I had lost my job and was completely broke. I didn't have anything to eat at my house, and nobody to help me out. I knew I wouldn't be able to get anything to eat for 5-6 days, and I was soo hungry.
So, I do feel a little bad about it, but I stole some food from the grocery store. I took some bread, and some sandwich meat, and walked right out. Like I said, I feel a little bad, but I had to eat, and the store is still in business. So, I don't feel too bad about it.

If picking cherries, apples, peaches and plums from somebody's garden without permission classifies as stealing, then I have definitely done it. It was the "IT" thing to do in my neighborhood. Everyone knew that we were sneaking and picking them up and they usually said nothing. The only time they would try to catch us was when we were trying to pick them up before they were ripped. In one occasion, the owner caught us and instead of taking us to our houses and telling out parents he took us to a store nearby and bought us a bag full of cherries. After all, all he was trying to do was convince us that eating the fruits before they are ready will just make us sick, not that he really minded us picking up the fruits. I miss those times. Pure fun, joy and courage to jump up those huge trees.

Yes. When I was a kids, I stole my mum's money, LOL.
I need the money to buy some snacks but she refused to give me the money. So I think of stole her money. I hope my kids would not do this to me.

Long long ago,when i was just 4 years old,i was interested in plastic flowers.One day, my mother went one of her friends's home in which there were so many colorful plastic roses on the desk.That friend got married one month ago, and the flowers were new,they were so attractive and i got one bunch of them.When i got home, my mother knew it and blamed me.
It is really unfogettable,foetunately,from then on, i never stolen something which is not mine.

I used to steal toffies and sugar candies from the grocery shop near my home till one day when my elder brother embarrased me first in front of many people and then returned the toffies back to the shopkeeper and made me to apologise in front of him.It was a day I would never forget.

I don't remember how old I was. I was probably about 7 or so. I stole a pack of gum from the grocery store when I was with my mom. I don't remember how she found out, if I told her or if she saw it. She yelled at me and was going to make me take it back to the store. She decided not to make me return it, but her disappointment was enough for me. I never stole anything again.

hi, icesmile. here's my story. When I was kid my parent had this little store, like a deli type of store. And the did sell ice cream. And like any other children i love ice cream so much. Cupole times i "took" some ice cream and then went to my hiding place and ate them. I always get caught because i always left "ice cream" spill on my t-shirt

I don't really think I have stolen anything really on purpose. Several times I have walked out the store and the cashier forgot to ring up a purchases. They be moving so fast to hurry and get you out the way, and by the time I notice the item is still in the buggy its to late. Just to steal steal it would have to be 10 million or more for me to go to jail. Sorry no intentionally stealing here.

I did steal some fruits at my neighbour house when I was young.. I think this is something that most children did.. and we enjoyed the fruits so much even it's a very sourish mango!! Gosh, the elders thought we kids are crazy for eating such unripe mangoes from the tree.. but what we are enjoying is the success of it able to enjoy "free" fruit..
