....bought anything which you knew was stolen?

I also remember the thread about 'things people wouldn't know about you', where we found out that a lot TCS members have shoplifted!
So don't be shy now!


I was looking at my CDs this morning and three of my CDs were bought this way


I was on my way home from the SU Bar and two (very similar looking) guys were standing on the corner of the park with a carry all full of CDs! I love the band and the price was too good to pass up on! So I bought them!
They even gave me one for free!

So, have any of you guys bought anything which you knew was stolen?!

Those CDs were hotter than hot!
The guys instantly paked up and walked on once I'd bought them!


I'm sure there must be other things too
But in my defense, I'll say I didn't realise at the time!

The cats house, we just pay the mortgage..
I don't have anything that I know of! Apart from a tiny picture frame, literally 2" by 2" that I stole when I was 14. How terrible is that, I nearly had an anxiety attack when I left the shop, I have no idea why I did it! I don't actually know where it is now (probably at my Mums
)
I don't mind getting copied DVDs if that counts?

Was the picture frame from Claire's Accessories by any chance?!


Yes, I think counterfeit DVDs count!!
You know, you'd have loved Salford Market before most of the vendors were arrested!

I don't think I know anyone who hasn't shoplifted from there!
My friends cousin got caught a couple of months ago and none of us could believe it as we'd all gone scott free!


Every time I pass Claire's now, I say 'fancy a spot of shoplifing?!!'

Nope - nothing. I haven't even shoplifted. My parent's put the fear of God (or at least my dad) in my growing up. My sister shop lifted once and my dad made her go back to the store, return the item and apologize!

We have bought counterfeit DVD's before. Lets see I don't think I have ever really stolen anything. Not on purpose at least as I almost stole a case of water that I left at the bottom of the buggy and forgot it was there and pushed it right out of the store! LOL

Guys youre all so bad!!!!!

WHen i was 10 we were at safeway and i really wanted these Buttons. My mum told me it was rubbish to buy them so when noone was in the isle i took it and shoved it in my pocket.

I dont think its fair to shoplift because i wouldnt like it if somene did it to me

I've never shoplifted at Claires!

H&M and NewLook maybe... Even now as a 'grown up' when you see how stupid the shop assistants are and how over priced some of the tat is, its very tempting!

I forgot to say I drank a bottle of coke a few years ago while I was doing my friends mums shopping for her and I didnt pay for it.
I don't know why I did it because I'd never do it now. I always put them through the till. Sar are you an undercover police woman. Should I be telling you this info?
