err . . . .I've liberated a few bits and bobs in my time, I used to work for a company producing industrial vacuum cleaners, when we where made redundant and they shut down everything was 'going cheap' so I liberated enough bits to build myself a 2HP vacuum cleaner for the workshop, and about 10kg of nuts and bolts from the stores !

I've not really stolen, but 'kept' bits and bobs when changing jobs etc in the past.

:rolleyes:

Why would you need a vacuum that powerful for domestic use ???

No, wait, wait, don't answer that. I don't want to know ;-)

got caught nicking a pen from WH Smiths in Horsham when I was about 13. Don't know why, didn't needa pen - just an impulse thing really.
Got chucked in a cell whilst the police called my dad at work.
Shat me right up, but not as bad as when I got home that evening....

nicked nowt since then.

I borrowed a plate bowl cup knife fork spoon from Uni Cafetterias but I returned them clean at the end of the academic year, beats humping that stuff about.

I steal ladies hearts and stole Alan Partridge's dignity.


Not really into theiving, prefer beating people up.

I stole Bradders7's DNA sample and swapped it for a Baboons when he went for a paternity test. The results were a 100% Match.



I slept with Bozza's mum, does that count?

The first thing was a packet of garbage pail stickers from a newsagents and I too had the fear and panic of getting caught. Never stole anything again but I have "borrowed" tools from previous jobs and "liberated" numerous artefacts from pubs, most notably a bar stool, a chair, and one of those glass soda spray things (siphon?).

I have a rather fine plastic lobster on my desk at work - 'liberated' from a seafood restaurant window display in Montpelier, while on a 'business trip' a few years ago. :blush:

When I was about 10, last year of primary school me and a couple of mates found that this cupboard right next to our coat pegs was open, opening it we found a load of penny sweets and chocolate bars that would be sold at fetes etc, one day we nicked a load of big bags of penny sweets legging it out of the school gates, it's only our class teacher walking towards us. Thinking shit, stuffed the sweets down our jumpers and collapsed in giggles, I guess coz we were so close to getting caught. He was absolutley bewildered to why we were laughing so much. A couple of days later, a massive assembly was called for the whole school about these penny sweets being nicked, I seriously thought everyone was staring at me, put me off nicking anything else again!

I accidentally forgot to pay for the Brighton V Man Utd fa cup final match programme whilst leaving a well known Churchill Square newsagent back in 1983.

I still have that programme.

I feel better now for confessing!

It was a bit embarassing that whole stalking thing I admit but now you're not allowed to come within 500 yards of me and they've got you on that cocktail of drugs I find I am able to hold my head high.

I nicked a few pens from my primary schools shop back in 6th class (the 8th year, weirdly).

Wasn't caught, as I was in charge of the shop at the time ;)

Loads of pint glasses (still do)
Choccy Bar once when I was a kid but nothing major.

On Bozzas note, when in the french alps my party group went to a bar and got a tab for the night, we boozed for a few hours then all saw the emergency exit door was open near us....so without saying anything we just bolted for it and ran off down the street without paying the tab...marvelous drunken memories!

When I was young I stole chocolate bars from my local shop, never got caught but when I thought I would try ASDA, I got caught and the store manager had a go at me, so did my parents, I was only 9:(

Didnt put me off stealing though, I nicked loads of football stickers from my friends at school and have nicked from the 99p store many times! never been caught!
