Not sure how slander is theft... Think you're getting mixed up there.

@OP - I have shoplifted probably thousands of pounds worth of things... mostly food and mostly while I was full-on, sleeping on a bench homeless. In times where I was a little poorer I have resorted to it for food even when I have had a house to sleep in.

Those incidents are somewhat reasonable in my eyes. I also had my own weird code - I wouldn't steal from small businesses or from people - only from large supermarkets whose loss would be minimal compared to others.

I don't do it anymore though. Not for a good many years. I have a house, did have a job etc... Just isn't worth losing all that over a sandwich. Especially when I now have the means to live comfortably enough without theft.


theft for survival isn't what i had in mind as i'm sure most would excuse a poor guy trying to steal a loaf of bread but i suppose it counts in the context of the way i phrased the poll

It wasn't purely for survival... although some days it felt like it. It was to live a comfortable life eating decent food and having enough money left for cigarettes etc while having no income except what I got through busking. I'd steal CDs from shops and sell them for money for the things I couldn't steal... like hot food or entry to a club or a room at a b and b or a night out at the pub.

It was to achieve a minimum standard of living that I felt I deserved.

My friend's dad worked at the Anheuser-Bush brewery in St. Louis they let the employees take home either free beer or insanely cheap Bud. so he had cases of the shit stacked in the garage. I'd hate to think how much beer we stole from him we started in 7th. grade and never stopped as far as I knew I moved in 10th.

Later I felt bad cause he only had one arm from the elbow down, he lost the other in Vietnam.

Back when I was a little shit in high school, I stole someone's phone from the gym locker room.

I still feel guilty about that almost on a daily basis. I think one day I might give him a bunch of money if I can track him down or something.

Especially since that means he lost all his contacts and everything.

Granted the kid was kind of a douche and had about 50 pictures of weed on his phone and 80% of his texts were about smoking weed and the other 20% were basketball, that doesn't make it ok.

OH and I've also pirated probably hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of data but that's not theft. I quit pirating anyway.

..when you deliberately lie and gossip in order to malign someone you steal their good name and reputation . You can always return property or make restitution but you can never undo gossip and intentional , malicious slander . This is why liars and gossips are considered some of the scummiest people on the planet .
