Stolen sweets and stuff in my early teens. One time one of the local newsagents reopened but they had no CCTV in the shop at all. My friend borrowed a pair of his brothers joggers and tucked the bottom of them into his socks and literally just started grabbing whatever was near and put it down his trousers whilst me and a couple other friends were chatting to the guy on the till to keep him busy. Then we’d just buy a can of drink each and walk out.
Stole crates of beer from Asda, Morrison’s a few times when I was 18. Me and my friends were amazed to know that the detectors by the doors didn’t seem to work on crates of beer so we’d buy one crate and then hand someone the receipt, go back in get another and just walk out without paying. Think we managed to get 5 or 6 at one time once.
It’s not something we’re particularly proud of now that we are older but we do sit and reminisce and have a little giggle about it on the odd time when we all meet up together
