I once stole a pen with a chain on it from a bank cos mum complained there was never a pen near the phone when you needed one. So yeah people steal shit.
At the shops yesterday and a mum was there w/ her probably 3 yr old girl. At this place the confectionery is at the checkout right at eye level for the kid. She started shoveling shit into her pockets. I couldn't stop laughing my arse off because it was the perfect crime as the checkout couldn't see kiddo. Mum was pretty embarrassed but in reality it made my day.
I am moving house at the moment. I queried the new owner about why there was no TV antenna. The answer was that a previous tenant stole it. What a weird thing to steal.
