No I haven't although I did used to pull apples of a tree out of someone's garden, where the branches extended into the public pathway as a child.

Not that is necessarily a positive, I had all I could want and needed from childhood.
So never needed to.
From Grandparents, Parents and much older Brothers and family.
I consider myself extremely fortunate in life.

However, there's many who out of desperation or for other reasons, take something not theirs.
Even in the profession I'm in, I can understand the taking of something by others.

I don't condone wilful stealing with and for no reason.
However, I never jump to judge because some of the worst theft and stealing from people is done by businesses.

I knew of a newsagents, who bought in a range of chocolates.
They weren't selling, so he collared the sales rep he took them from.
They were near sell by dates.
So he was given a full refund for the lot.
Told to just bin them as they couldn't be sold to another outlet now.
Yet he, as they were in wrappers, piled them into jars, sold them that way in smaller weights.

Now is that good business or who is really robbing who?.
I know what I call it UNNECESSARY greed.
