'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That poor kid! PLEEEAZZZE I'm glad he got money in compensation for being mocked for his guilt meltdown. He will never steal anything ever.
Once, on the way back to my place from the college cafeteria with my then-boyfriend, he pulled two full sets of flatware from his jacket and presented them to me. I was flustered, but, you know, I did need flatware. I rationalized it as a small rebate on my tuition.
I recall a dinner at a barbecue joint with a number of NY Buffistas, at which one or more of their sauce bottles departed the restaurant in the possession of a Buffista. (This is not the only time that an evening with Buffistas introduced me to exciting new crime.)
billytea, remember that we need the definition of 'over-servicing', preferentially one that's SFW.
I can't remember stealing anything deliberately from a restaurant. However, if you hand me a pen to sign something, I'll automatically try to put it in my purse because apparently my lizard brain is convinced ALL YOUR PENS BELONG TO US.
Hostages, the new Alexis Bledel show, and SVU are all shooting within a five block radius of my home tonight.

What a perfect cover for a crime.
"Officer! I just saw someone acting suspicious!"
"It was probably an actor practicing."
When I was 8 and living in Hilo, Hawaii, my best friend (and troublemaker) was a few years older. We went to the JC Penney across the street from our cabañas and "tried on" bras. And then Helene talked me into leaving the store wearing 7 or 8 of the bras under my t-shirt.
I was caught. And taken into security. And police people yelled at me. I gave all the bras back, and they were likely soaking in tears.
Helene had already skipped home, no contraband lingerie on her person.
I haven't stolen a damned thing since.
What a perfect cover for a crime.
Heh. Glad I'm not the only one who has no PLANS to commit a crime, but still considers whether a situation would be ripe for it.
I don't recall stealing anything from restaurants, though I have aided and abetted those who did (salt shaker, a bunch of Brits in college who were visiting us and reallllly wanted the mugs from IHOP, etc)
Yay, Jilli!
I was a hardened Lip-Smackers thief from K-mart when I was 10. But I got over it.
A friend in college went through a serious stealing phase -- she stole a lot of things from Wal-Mart, including (HOW?!) a toaster-over under her hippie skirt. IN A BOX. Course, I ended up pretending to be her over the phone when her husband got arrested for stealing soft tacos from Taco Bell, because she was in hysterics. That couple had issues...

We are the people law enforcement are grateful for--clever enough to see a plan, smart enough not to do it.
