When I was a little girl, probably about five years old, I stole a Chapstick from a store. I felt so bad about it that I told my parents. They made me take it back and apologize. I think I also got spanked. That was the last time I ever stole anything. Have you ever shoplifted? Did you get caught? What happened?

I didn't know you did that. Actually when I was I think 13 I went to a store with a friend who did it and she got away with it. I thought that was so cool that she got a new shirt for free. We went back to the store the next weekend and I did it too and got away with it. The store probably didn't have very good security. Then when we were visiting family in another state I tried to do it at a store there. I got caught and brought in to the security office. Scared the living you know what out of me. I never ever did it again. I am glad I got caught and was scared so badly.

I hv never shoplifted and I hv never thot of doing that. I guess it cld be due to fear of being humiliated in public?

Yup, it'd certainly be embarrassing to get caught. But if I had tried that as a kid, it wldn't be embarrassing becos people tend to be kinder to kids. Anyway, I'm not trying to encourage any kids to steal.

Oh, what a nice girl !! You should be very proud of yourself. You got spanked too ? Oh, so sad ! You should not be spanked. I am sure your parents are proud of you too. I have never shoplifted. The thought never came to my mind, any way.

No, I have never intentionally shoplifted. HOwever, once at Wal-Mart as I was putting my groceries into my car, I noticed that I had put a birthday card underneath my purse that I had intended to pay for........... but I didn't.......... so I went back in to pay for it :)

i never shoplifted in my entire life. Im basically afraid of my father cause he will really spank me if i do something wrong and i wouldn't really want that.
But oh i remember something when i was a kid maybe 4 or 5 yrs old, there is pen in a counter, im not really poor or anything like that, i can even buy 10 of that pen and just give it away to anyone i want, it's just well im a kid and i really am naughty, i never tell my parents about that, no one knows unless there is a hidden camera in that particular area :))

Yes i've shoplifted a few times. I got caught over 17yrs. ago, yes I got caught security caught me the police were involved. They tried calling my mom but there was no answer they let me go home. When I got home I didn't tell my mom I just waited for the papers in the mail so I can know when to go to court she obviously found out & she was so disappointed in me. I went to court by myself I spoke to judge there weren't no charges Thank goodness. I never stole again after that. In the long run its not worth it if you don't have $ don't think about stealing it.
