This stealing is my life and gives me pleasure, it gives me stuff i normaly would not buy myself. yet it takes away from who i really am i would never take away from anyone, just want it to stop.
Going to give up my purse for a really small one.
remember time spent in jail for 14 hours for $41 and in an hour i go to court to see what my fine will be its not worth it but Ive done it off and one for years and years…
even was security for JCPennys and Montogomery Wards go figure.

I hate myself for doing it but I have been really bad about it lately …but I steal stuff and then give it to other people like in my head i feel like it justifys the stealing …i don’t know why i do it i guess because it started off so easy to do but I keep thinking what if loss prevention was to come in one day and look at the tapes how mortified i would be and how sad i would be if i lost my job i love my job….and they praise me so much..that would all be taken away just for some chips…lots of packs of cigarettes … ice cream and all other bull crap..its not worth my job yet i am having a hard time controling my urge… I have to put a end to it…too much is on the line..and i feel evil in a way after i do it like im pushing myself away from God with guilt…if anyone has any advice let me know

Its a small habit that grows into a big addiction. Better to never start. I started in college, drunk with friends—we’d steal ppl’s alcohol at parties. Then we would go in boys room that we knew or disliked and take their deoderant, toothbrushes etc, just to be funny and a pain in the ass. Soon I was at Target, slipping make up or whatever unnoticed into the back of my cart. Now I am married, with a baby, and just squeaking by financially… but I dress in the best of clothes. Everything I own is designer. I figure if I’m going to steal, why bother taking cheap stuff? I have so much clothing, my walk in closet is filled to the max. I have a ceder chest that is filled to the top with cashmere sweaters from J Crew, Bloomingdales and Nordstrom.

I can’t remember the last time I had to pay for something. Its horrible but thrilling at the same time. I can’t stop, I love coming home with gobs and gobs of new nice pieces of clothing. Sometimes I feel horrible about myself while I’m doing it, but its so great having them. I’ll head back to my car and unload and go in for more. I steal stuff for my husband too—really expensive shirts for work. He thinks I save up and buy it. :( If I ever got caught, my life would be over! I would be so ashamed! I’m hoping I’ll either grow out of it or we’ll become better off so I can still dress as nice without stealing.

nip this where it’s at, it’s going to become a habit. And then a compulsion.

Stealing feels good. It’s fun. I like doing it. It’s so, so very bad.

No more.

Stealing… phew. I started stealing because I didn’t have enough money to buy some books or I didn’t want to trouble my parents with buying some small thing that was too expensive for its size. It was like someone else said, I didn’t plan on stealing anything when I went to the store but once I did it and didn’t get caught I started to go just to steal. Soon I told my sister and she told me she did it too. She mostly stole jewelry or things she could make jewelry with but I still stole more than she did. And I had already known that my older brother had been charged with stealing dvd’s and other electronics though he had stolen before and not gotten caught. We were like a family of thieves and what I think makes it worse is that I felt that I thought like one. I would think to myself, “Okay, skim through the book and look for the security tag…” and then, “Alright, this book either doesn’t have one or I’m having trouble finding it.” And to be on the safe side I’d walk out of the store with someone else who’d just bought something or on the rare occasion I had money to spare I’d buy one of the books I wanted and knick the rest. I think I’m a clepto and even though I know it’s easy to mess up, get caught, and kill my future by getting a record, I couldn’t stop. Before I stole every time I went to the store, I got caught once a jewelry store and the woman scared the living daylights out of me. I wasn’t by myself in the mall, my mother was there and I didn’t want to show up in front of her with to security guards at my sides. The lady let me off the hook but all that taught me was that that store was too small to steal from and that I wouldn’t steal from that place again. Flawed logic much? I should’ve learned not to steal at all but I didn’t.

Okay so basically, i walked into Topman one day (around a year ago), browsed a little and saw this necklace I really wanted. I decided to just pocket it there and then.
I was terrified of being grappled by security guards right there, on the spot.

However, it didn’t happen at all.
I walked out of the shop calmly with my necklace, and went home.
I didn’t go out with the intention of stealing, it just happened.

And it’s been like that for just under a year. It’s not even large worthwhile thefts, normally small accessories, even the odd t-shirt now and then.

I don’t feel guilty, because it’s not precious to them, but the threat of getting caught is far too high.
I plan on stopping, but it’s so tempting.

To be honest, if I could get away with it all the time, i’d keep going. But i’m not that stupid at all.
My luck will run out one day

In yellowkife theirs not too much to do but walk in the mall and enjoy the cold weather we have.
When I was little I stole from Walmart and Extra Foods and where ever i could think of.I am a natural born thief and i hate it.In my mind i know it’s wrong but its like an addiction, a drug.I am in the John Howerd allmost every day trying to find our how to stop stealing but it’s something I can’t control.

Me and my friend Justin were looking around in a skateboard shop
(Chik Chic)and we found the perfict chace to steal something,so I grabed a T-shirt a pare of krux pants and some barings and Justin stole a shirt.When we went out the ringer went off but the store manager didn’t think anything of it.2 mouths later Justin was cought and they were looking for me too.I ended up turning myself in and they placed us in the John Howerd.I feel really bad for what i did andthink it was wrong and unfare.
Please help me stop my addiction.

I was once a theif of a diffrent kind, I was a pirate you know stealing movies, Programs, etc. Basically anything that you could steal on the computer I would steal. except money from banks because security is not easy to break into, and that they could easily trace you.

For years i stole or kept pirated software on my computer, and eventually the sum of it all got past 10,000$ ( not a very high some compared to some ). Then i looked at what i had and said what am i doing, why did i have all this stuff more than half i didnt use. So i came to the conclusion that i was going to get rid of it all, so i did, I formatted my HardDrive and got rid of all the stuff on my external harddrive.
I managed to keep my computers legal for about 3 months. Then temptaion came in i “felt” like using one of the programs, so i turned on my computer and forgot i didnt have it anymore ( absent minded moment ) so then i really got bored. I didnt have anything to do but work on these pirated programs. So i went to my friends house and downloaded some more software, ending my legal free streak. However this time round i felt guilty, for every thing i downloaded i felt a little bit more guilty, but for some strange reason i was addicted to pirating software, i dont know why but i was.So again i deleted the stuff and now ive been legal for about 3 months again. The fact that i have discoverd is that you just have to stop, No matter how hard it is you just have to stop.

this is crazy! why is it so addicting? it seems magically that the things i do steal don’t last very long. i think its bad karma.also it seems like the more i steal the less money i have.
i try to stop at the point of stealing books because i think that the authors deserve every dollra they make off of there books. but today i broke that law i made to myself and stole a book i wasnt even that interested in doing. why? i do not know. i think there should be a theifs anonomys. if there was, i would go to it because i want to stop. i got caught from my mother and she made me go back to the store and apologize. nothing really happened. then i stopped stealing for 3 months. until today. nothing is wrong with me! i just got sucked into materialism and i will suck myself out! tomorrow:returning book anonomysly. today: done being a thief!
