I was talking with my brother yesterday about various topics. Eventually the topic turned to alcohol and some silly drinks and he mentioned that Dr. Mcgillicuttys and root beer is fantastic. The random mention of root beer suddenly whisked me back to childhood.
This was sometime in the early 90's when Barq's Root Beer started a promotion of putting temporary tattoos inside their 12 packs of soda. My brother and I had to have them. THEY'RE TEMPORARY TATTOOS! So for the next couple of months anytime my mother would drag us along to go grocery shopping we'd go about on our top secret mission to steal them from the boxes. We'd have somebody be the lookout while the other secretly slid his hand inside the box and tried to pull them out while people weren't watching. It went like clockwork. Soon we had hordes and hordes of temporary tattoos and we looked unbelievably badass.... or at least we thought we did.
So, drunk or not, what is the dumbest thing you've ever stolen?
Two Hamtaro armbands from HotTopic while drunk at the mall. I'm not sure how I got there, but I remember determining that I needed them to make a hideous park football outfit, and I remember getting chased out and hiding in the bushes in the rain from the cops....
lol probably a lot of stuff. when i was like 15 me an like 7 guys from my class stopped at the supermarket like once a week after school just to steal stuff for kicks. So I stole like toothpaste, gum, coke cans and a lot of other small stuff. haha now that I think about it we must have really developed some strange group dynamic because nobody was really afraid and we completely lacked any morale or respect. Like once I stole some sweets and some lady probably saw me because when i stood in line to pay for some other thing she asked if i was going to pay for the stuff in my pockets too and i just said no and left the store...
I don't i have ever steal something except dling a couple of songs and movies. Ah wait i stole a Tiger beer mug at a restaurant because it looked awesome.
Textbooks. Back in highschool, one set for my locker and another set at home. That way, I don't have to carry them around. Should really take them back...

OMFG someone stole my Charzard card back when i was seven .
those things were CUT THROAT. in junior high, i didnt play but i bought and sold them to make money - i never stole any but i know that sort of thing did go on.
Ah and I stole some books from the library as I never managed to actually convince myself to return them any sooner than tommorow which lasted since I took those books t.t
I accidentally stole chewing gum once 'cause I subconsciously put it in my pockets and walked out (after paying for the other stuff I bought there). I realized halfway back to the dorm and was like "woah...oops".
I think I ate candies a few times without paying, that'd be all.

I distinctly remember at the card shop I went to (when I was younger I played Magic, not Pokemon). The store owner had been told about some kids who stole a few cards from another shop and to keep an eye out. The kid tried to pawn them off to him and he called the cops. When the kid came back he saw the cops and booked it across the street. He tripped on the curb and smashed his face.
First post in a long time, but I remember my sister and I use to switch out the large eggs for extra large eggs. We would do this for about 3-4 eggs and purchase the dozen large eggs at a discounted cost compared to the dozen extra large eggs.
I actually don't think I've ever stolen anything. The closest is when I paid $40 for a $24 game of miniputt and got $36 change and got the fuck out of there.
Back in grade 5, I stole a guy's mirror force for yugioh cuz he kicked me hard in the groin and ran like a little pussy. He saw me put it in my stash, went to the teacher and accused me of mugging him. The teacher believed him cuz I had a bad history with my her so I got in trouble.
BUT HERE'S THE TWIST:
The guy subsequently jacked my stash of yugioh cards and when I told the teacher she didn't FUCKIN believe me. It felt like shit being outsmarted, but it didn't matter cuz I beat the shit outta him later that day.
They use to sell box set starcraft sets at costco. I use to open up the boxes, copy down the cd keys and sell the keys to people at school for profit $$$.
The most I've ever stolen was bubblegum when I was 6. Also I accidentally stole textbooks from my junior highschool and highschool. Accidentally because when I found out I still hadn't returned the textbooks after the terms ended, I just decided to keep them.
Oh, and literally ten's of thousands of dollars of stuff I downloaded over the internet via torrents.

to be fair, they were robbing you in the first place.

Shit was easy, I just put it in my shoe and walked out of the store. However the chocolate bar was gross and had melted when I picked it up after walking a couple of hundred meters.
I don't think I've ever stolen anything (other than downloading I've previously done, of course), but I have an amusing story from when I was in 7th grade, so I couldn't have been more than 11 or 12.
A friend and I went to the grocery store across the street after school, and we were browsing the magazine aisle. I saw that the current copy of PC Gamer magazine (or some other PC magazine) had a demo disk with Hitman 2 on it. Looking back, I doubt my computer would have been able to run it anyway, but I wanted it.
So I told my friend to try to block the camera. He did, and I created a hole in the back of the plastic. I pulled the disk out, and either my nerves of my conscience got to me, as I put the disk back. So my friend and I shop around a bit, and as we're leaving the store, someone enters the store, and comes up to us, then flashes a security guard badge.
We're brought to the back, and we unsuccessfully try to play dumb. We were held for about an hour and a half, with the dude repeatedly asking questions, and scaring the hell out of us. He said he would have let me go if I had been able to pay for the magazine, but I couldn't. So in the end, he just took us over to the school, left our names with the dean, and let us go.

probably a few drones from people's mineral lines, cuz they weren't watching. only until the mutas flew into their base did they realize that it wasn't ZvP anymore.
well, apart from that, probably some sex from a prostitute
Tried to steal a knife from a Tony's pizza but got caught when it dropped out of my coat while walking out of the store. Waitress saw it and said I could keep it but I told her "you win this round" and proceeded to walk out. Waited about a year and a half before going back and successfully stealing one.
was the dumbest idea ever, i hid it in my room but it automatically starts flashing when it's dark, so i either had a flashing closet or i couldn't sleep
Quarters from my brother so I could buy pop/candy at the quik stop between our house and school. He got so pissed when he noticed them gone, even more pissed because they were from his tips he got from working at a restaurant.
I would always steal Bubblicious. I would rip open a package, dump the 4 or so pieces into my pocket, then walk out the store as I was afraid the little barcodes/serials on the pack would set off an alarm or something. Once outside, I would then proceed to jam all the contents in my mouth to see how big a bubble I could make, my jaw would actually get tired from chewing all that gum at once haha. If I had a Bubblicious package right now, I'd do the same!
As i have said before i'm always been nice and honest but my bro has stolen many things like 500 euros technical jacket, rock climbing shoes, ropes, screwdrivers, ice axes ( lol ) and the best: CHEESE ( LOL ) obviously it was always in stores to make it more challenging. At one point he was almost making contests with his friends ( one of them managed to steal a frying-pan haha ).
Lots of them. My friends and I for some reason needed cones to play various sporting games last year, and rather than just use like shirts or something to mark the endzone's we ending up jacking every orange cone we could find. We ended up with wayyyy too many. I still have 2 in my car now.

dumped it the next day
Funny, now I remembered having one of those back in the college days.. I don't even remember how I got it or what happened to it. Only that I had it.
Other than that I guess the dumbest thing I ever stole was a few street signs, and a pyrex glass from a lab.
Haven't really stolen many things since the HS/College days.
Pogs... I ran out the store with them, and was dumb enough to come back in, at which point one of the old cashiers scolded me and made me bring it back. :o
two sets of silverware from a restaurant once. one set in each sleeve. lucky the knives weren't very sharp. I don't really steal much though, that was just because we didn't have very many spoons at home and i knew they wouldnt really mind if they found out.
About 20 shop signs from the neighbouring 'adult shop' suburb. Most were the usual XXX movie and book ones. Some were chained to the ground but we came prepared, and alot were fairly large metal ones that needed 4 of us to pick up. We put them in the back of my mates ute the night before our last day of high school and plastered them up all over school.
The next day the principle told us to return them but we just ditched them in some random field. Good times.
pens... banks, restaurants, whenever someone puts a pen in my hand, usually to sign something. There's a really good chance its not coming back unless they actually ask for it. I've stolen thousands of pens like this.
When I was like 10 years old I stole a key chain from a street vendor in Monterrey, Mexico. I never used it or did anything with it. I have no idea why I took it. It was a really dumb thing to do considering where I was.
Bionic Commando for the NES ..... The very last day of 5th grade I got busted in Target (before glass cases they had the games hanging there for anyone) I had to pay for the game and do at home community service(after being caught with the game, trying to hide it under a car seat, damn plain clothes target bastardos)
Let's see. I stole my friend's gamegear when I was in grade 6. And then I returned it out of guilt about 6 months later...... I put it back in a freaking exposed basket so I'm certain that he and his mother suspected that I stole it after I went to his house that day.
That, and a yearbook. I lost my grade 10 highschool yearbook so I decided to callously steal it from a good friend one day. Me and him would play basketball together, we'd talk about the meaning of life and we'd have the best times together. One thing I remember hanging out with him was just how much we both laughed. He was quite popular too. He was one of those rare breeds who could pass himself off as hard and tough with the gangsters of the school, cool and athletic to most other people, and someone who would even hang out with the chodes sometimes. Yeah..... But you see I lied. I wasn't cool enough to go visit a good friend's house and non chalantly steal his fucking yearbook cause I was stupid enough to lose my own and then act all innocent and deny that I stole it and then bring up all sorts of shit about you I've been harboring all this time. mother fucker. You were like a brother to me. FUUUUUUUUUUU
I once stole over 20 bottles of different kinds of DXM containing cough syrup, an entire box of Zicam Cough Max (12 bottles) and somewhere around 15 boxes of Coricidin Cough and Cold, to stock myself with enough DXM to last for my Junior year Christmas Break.
How i went about this was simple, i just went into the store and loaded two bags full of my "loot". Then i bought a shit ton of other groceries.(Grapefruit juice, Diphenhydramine tablets, Tagamet, and some other random stuff) I grabbed the two bags (which i had stashed in the bathroom, and were later grabbed by my accomplice) from a bench where he had stashed them outside of the store. That night i had my first 4th plateau trip.

this. I don't even do it on purpose, just pocket the pen instinctively
As a 6 year old. It seemed daring and exciting at the time, but i was horrified once we got home that my parents would find out. I ended up hiding the gum (unopened) at the bottom of a closet where I thought it would never be found. Throwing it away would have been too logical :p
A ton of baseball cards when I was kid. Whenever me and my brother used to visit this convenience store, we'd each grab a pack of cards. This continued for a long time. I don't follow nor do I care for baseball.
More recently, Starbucks tumblers.
I still get the urge to shoplift, seeing how almost every store is really lax in security.
game boy color and pokemon game ^^ the guys i stole it had 4 and just 3 kids and was assholes they never see that its gone shitt rich idiots xD well wasnt even steal was more a mistake xD i forget to give it back xD
others a wood ladybeetle for 10cent in a shop xD jaeh i cant steal anything i am to nice
When I was a kid I stole those little soap bubble things. Was like liquid soap in a gelatinous shell thing. My mom found those in my pocket and they took my Super Nintendo away for 2 weeks and told me it had been "stolen".
They only told me that it was them 3-4 years ago and I never figured that out as a kid.... So they tried to teach me a lesson but I was too dense to pick up on any of the elements of the lesson whatsoever.

If you left without playing then this is the dumbest one in this thread, because you actually lost $4 in that case.

haha robo tripping.. that was fun times. 4th plateau you say? Intense, pretty fucking intense. I would know =)
I found out who it was during recess (by checking all the bags) and then took all of mine back, and stole the rest of his. I got like 50 Slammers MUAHAHAHAHA
I have a set of 5 iron plates that look like skillets from this truck-stop restaurant... and a nice pair of khaki pants. Those are just points of interest. I have a problem.
edit: OH! And after seeing some people mention road signs... I got one that says "Speed Hump Ahead"
I took a pencil from work once, by accident, and didnt bother to turn it back. Thats the only thing I've ever stolen I think. I hate theives otherwise, really among the lowest of people.
The only things I've stolen are a few street signs. Not proud of it. At the time I guess it was a thrill, but I feel like quite the jackass for it now.
People saying a car need to explain themselves, pronto!
For me, not much: when people give me too much money back I tend to just keep it, like, I guess, most people. Stolen sodas and glasses at bars and pizzerias, but I've been hammered when I've done that. I've never gone into a store intending to steal, had a friend who got busted and his parents whooped his sorry ass. Guess that scarred me for life. Also for the most part I was fairly well off, since I never really caught on the Pokémon craze or all the other shit. Spent at most 50$ on all that crap combined, before realizing it was a waste of money.

I've stolen one of these. I was playing bigger and better, where you have to trade a paper clip for something bigger and better, and trade that thing for something even better and you do this until you run out of time. My group said to hell with that and we made up a story where a guy gave us one of those for a paperclip. That is, we jacked one, put it in the back of my Dad's pickup and fled the scene. We lost to someone who had a horse saddle. Then we tossed the thing into a garbage dump afterwards.
When I was like 6 I stole a gum =(. I didn't mean to steal it, I just put it in my pocket went up to the counter payed for all the other shit I picked up and forgot about the gum. When I walked outside I was like "oh shit I forgot about the gum" and I was like "go back in and pay for it, or run?" I eventually started running in fear the shop keeper would call me a shoplifter and call the police. I never visited that shop ever again in my whole life.
Oh and I never ate that gum =( felt too guilty to eat it.
when I was like 7 or something, I dropped one of those caramel cube thingies in my shoe and walked out of a store..
I dunno why. just wanted to see what its like to steal.
Then, when i was like 15 in HS, me and my friend ran a "shady business" (he was the real one, he had fake IDs and buying porn for kids and stuff lol) but I knew this store which had no security camera's facing the front of their counter, and I had a hole in my jacket pocket and would reach down and grab the cadbury eggs and pull it up while paying for something else. Pretty foolproof plan imo, so I only did about 4 of those and sold them for a lesser price (i hated them)
I stole a black wig like this one : http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/27264.jpg it was 1euros in a discount store. I got caught and had to negociate for 30 minutes so they dont call the cops. How could i explain that to my parents?
I was at a friends party and I was kinda drunk so I stole some drinks and hid them because I was afraid we would eventually run out of alchool too soon (I didn't want them to drink when I was not around).
I was drunk so probably I've got an excuse for doing such a dumb thing.. NOT ! :D

I played that game almost right when it came out.
The classic 2d version... where there were NO BANKS. What kind of dumb crap is that... if you died you were pretty much F'ed! So you had to make alternate characters to hold all your junk. So you would find a private spot to drop your items and then log on to your alternate character to pick the stuff up and vice versa.
I caught someone dropping their stuff so I ran and took his stuff when he logged off. LOL
In the local supermarket, before there were security cameras set up, there was an aisle of sweets and stuff like that. Then there was an area of candies, and there was a pack of gum that didn't belong there, so I thought I would take it and take it to the right place (feeling righteous) but then an adult came and I got scared so I put it in my pocket... I did buy something else though. That was 10 years ago.... wow...
I went through a phase in 4th grade where I would steal superglue from the local Genovese and Rite-Aid... I must have stolen a couple hundred of them before they finally caught me and I stopped. The hilarious thing was even after they caught me, they didn't realize I still had 20 tubes of it in my jacket before they sent me home... but yeah. What did I do with all that superglue? Nothing... =/
A Hentai manga I found while diving in the paper recycling dumpster with my friends. We used to go in there as horny teenagers and steal the porn this guy dumped every tuesday and hide in the bushes. One day he dumped a Hentai manga about Rikku in her FFX-2 gear and decided to take it home. It's not very good. I've still go it hidden in a normal comic book upstairs.
Back in the day when my mom took me shopping, I sometimes stole legos.
I would actually open boxes and take parts that I wanted or needed. Got a few frosty spears from those lego bike things (in the cylindrical canisters) and a bunch of other "unique" pieces. I'm not sure how I wasn't caught, haha.
I stole a big jar of tea in a bar this new year (i was drunk as never before), i didn't get it because i put it in the pocket of the coat i had on which wasn't mine, and had to give away. TT
i justified this anti social behavior by my clothing being stolen in a different bar earlier that night and freezing like shit in the minus 10 to 15 degrees outside.
The first time I ever stole something. I was with 2 friends and we made up this huge plan - one of them was gonna interrupt the shop keeper and the other was gonna stroll the store just looking at items. While the first friend asked the shop keeper for a glass of water (which made him/her dissappear for a while) I ran into the store and, with shaky hands, I stole 3 gums. Oh man the rush we all felt after that! :D

lol I stole one of these once also. For a while back in school we'd each steal a can of coke everyday from Greggs at lunch time and like random chocolate or whatever from newsagents sometimes. A couple of my friends would have shoplifting competitions all the time, going into town and taking games, DVDs, CDs etc.
My brother and his friend are, or at least were, by far the most prolific thieves I've known however, they have stolen countless computers, projectors, big ass monitors and TVs, laptops etc. almost entirely from universities.
Possibly the most humourous occasion though was when two guys from my high school stole stuff from this convenience store, one of them lit two sparklers, held them in his mouth and ran into the store and started dancing around and yelling and shit, while the staff were busy trying to deal with him the other guy just walks in, fills his pockets with stuff and leaves.
Oh and the alcohol theft from parties that me and my friends used to get up to when we were 15 was fucking ridiculous lol.
One night my friends and I were not entirely sober and we knew that there were street signs that had to do with three of our names nearby. So we went and stole the signs for Bohnsack court, anna dr. and Ready st...My my friend still has them up on his wall.
I was 5 years old and was attracted by the blue chicken in the commercial. I had no clue what it was, so I took one to taste in secret. Tasted really bad Stupid blue chickens!!
We stole 2 plates, 3 sets of silverware, a glass and a napkin holder from a fancy Italian restaurant my cross-country coach took the team to the beginning of my freshman semester. I have two Denny's menus and a Coca-Cola glass from Dennys, as well as a mug and 4 steak knives from Chiles. There's something fun about stealing from restaurants.

I stole a bunch of holographic Entei cards from the Pokemon movie premier once... thought I was going to be making big money selling them. And after all that I didn't even see the movie.
I went into a relative acquaintance's party and was one of only 2 people sober. To liven up the mood we stole half the birthday cake and a bottle of fabreeze

Lifeguard is pretty easy, just open a compartment usually under your arm rest, check it out on your next flight . Don't remember what i had to pay, but it was like 70% of room cost. They thought it was pretty hilarious.

That sucks so bad. I hate when hotels slam you with expensive bills. I know in a lot of fancy hotels they have like these 10 dollar bottles of water, and if you open them, they charge it to your account. It's fun though when you are in a room that you aren't paying for, to open all the water/liquor/soda/snacks and just devour everything on someone else's dollar. I guess that kind of counts as stealing.

Me and my former roommate once stole a parasol-stand from a McDonald's (at like 02:00 in the middle of the night, plenty of alcohol involved). It was made out of concrete and probably weighed around 60-70 Kg.
So we started dragging it home, (which is about 2 Km away from where we started) but 200m and a lot of time later we figured that it wouldn't really work. Our idea then was to steal a bike, and put it on the package holder, though of course there weren't any unlocked bikes around. We took one anyway and thought that it could still work, as generally only the back wheel is locked we could maybe balance it on the saddle and lift the back wheel up in the air, so that we at least can roll it home even if we still had to lift the weight. Naturally, that didn't go too well.
Now instead I decided to run all the way home, get my own bike and use that one to get the precious stand home. This did work, and after carefully balancing it on the package holder while slowly rolling the bike all the way home, and then carrying it up 3 sets of narrow stairs we where now one parasol-stand richer (though not without any cost, as my package holder broke under the weight of the concrete). We placed it in my room, glued a face of a preist on it and named it "The Reverend".
Two months later or so we noted that due to it having been wet on the underside when we put it there, the floor carpet had started to rot. So we once again had to move it, and in the middle of the next night we left it behind someones house.
It was a weird, stupid and awesome time back then.

So we started dragging it home, (which is about 2 Km away from where we started) but 200m and a lot of time later we figured that it wouldn't really work. Our idea then was to steal a bike, and put it on the package holder, though of course there weren't any unlocked bikes around. We took one anyway and thought that it could still work, as generally only the back wheel is locked we could maybe balance it on the saddle and lift the back wheel up in the air, so that we at least can roll it home even if we still had to lift the weight. Naturally, that didn't go too well.

Hahahaha, XD
I stole Starcraft when I was 13. The box was opened already so I just took a peak inside and saw the cd case for original sc so I just take it and put it in my pocket.

I stole an extra hotel room key so a girl and I didn't have to have sex in a room with 2 of my mates sleeping again. Next morning the bed was fucking red cuz she menstruated during the night. I got caught and had to pay the bill .
That sucks so bad. I hate when hotels slam you with expensive bills. I know in a lot of fancy hotels they have like these 10 dollar bottles of water, and if you open them, they charge it to your account. It's fun though when you are in a room that you aren't paying for, to open all the water/liquor/soda/snacks and just devour everything on someone else's dollar. I guess that kind of counts as stealing.
You know, I once stayed in a hotel room where the snacks/water were tracked with laser sensors. If any item were removed from its innocuous looking stand for more than thirty seconds, a charge would automatically be added to the bill even if one were to put the item back unopened immediately afterward. You can imagine how incensed I was upon checkout.

the ironic part about the spray paint was in middle school after i tagged a random empty lot in philly my school had an art project which was a huge mural on the side of the school lot. week after is tole teh spray paint can the mural got tagged by the same color spray paint
I don't know the dumbest thing I've ever stolen, but the dumbest way I've ever stolen something is like this:
I was drunk in some foreign city liquor store that doubled as a fish processing place/deli/butcher or whatever. I was in the store with my drunk self and friends and I forget what we were doing there (just killing time waiting for someone) we had no money and no ride. but all the sudden I got hungry and I stuffed 2 bags of Doritos in my pants and it was all scrunchy and loud and puffed out and I just walked out and the guy at the front did a double take. I dunno what I was thinking. lol
Also, another similar circumstance I was at a Ralph's and we weren't 21 and couldn't find someone to buy us booze, so we all decided to go into the store and gaffle some bottles. Since 2 friends were already going to get some vodka or whatever, I figured I'd just grab some random beers out of import 12 packs that I never tried before. As I walked out the isle facing the door one of the beers slipped out of my belt and slid down my leg to my shoe, and then onto the floor. I was too far past the point of no return, so I kept going. I started to limp to try and cover it, while trying to move faster, but the bottle was dragging and making a distinct noise. The lady checker who was talking to some other checker made some funny comment about alcohol (I forget what she said exactly, something like hard days work needs some R&R) and I just kept walking.
Yet another time, Two of my friends were retarded and walked right through the front where the employees and no customer were gathered (at like 10pm) to the alcohol isle, while I took the long way around. They went back out the same way they came with bottles in their belts like a minute later. The manager decided to run after them when he tried to stop/grab them (they got away). But me however was all the way down the isle facing the door (watching it all go down) and quickly put my bottle on a shelf. As I walked out the guy tried to hassle me and I blew him off.
edit - Actually I do remember one of the dumbest things I've stolen. I was at the nickel nickel arcade with friends and we were about to leave and waiting near the counter to cash some tickets in for tootsie rolls or whatever else useless crap we could get. The girl was no where to be found and I saw that the counter was open, There was fake blood there for like 500 tickets lol and I just grabbed it and started walking out the door. The girl came out and yelled to me but I started laughing and running. I had that fake blood tube for like 5 years or something until like 2 halloweens ago I used it all up on my zombie costume.
I always found it funny how people would make half assed attempts and like go out the store after you are long gone and yell shit like "COME BACK" or whatever. Ok, sure, I'll come back so I can be billed, arrested, beat up. It's one of the dumbest things people do I've ever witnessed and I've seen in many times.
A friend needed batteries so I walked into the nearest market store and just took some batteries off the shelf and walked out.
My friend felt guilty and went back in to return them; told me she got some nasty stares from the employees but nothing really happened. This was in Korea around '05.
I stole a Yu-gi-oh card sometime when I was in middle school, and felt really guilty after I did it too (even though the kid I stole it from was a complete douche)
Once me and my buddy went to drink, we were walking on the sidewalk and then a car crashed into an another car next to us on the road. It wasnt very serious, the rear bumper got deformed and the license plate fell off. We took the license plate and went away.
A baritone saxophone, a 3'x3' painting from a crowded bar, a package from someone's doorstep which ended up being a vibrating tongue, and a large bus used for transporting the elderly that we used as a party bus for a night that we did return... so I guess we only borrowed that.

Because of the consequences, had we got caught. It was an awesome night tho ^^
The only thing I've ever stolen is a stapler from school. I thought it was so cool until I realized "what am I going to do with a stapler?" Years later I use it constantly.
This past summer i was stumbling back from a house party and I stole a potted plant on a neighbor's porch. I then proceeded to walk back to my house at 1:30 am (for about 4 blocks) with said plant.
