so i was at a local walmart after work amd i stopped in the tformer section and guess what i saw.. some kid attempting to steal a transformer! lol he saw me then stopped and walked away so i was wandering has anyone ever stole or thought about stealing a transformer? me i never had i work in retail so i know how it is to have stuff missing but i was just curious

 

Kids will be kids. But me, I'm 27, too old for that crap.

 

Guilty. I think it was some micromasters back in the day. I think it was more about the thrill of getting away with it, more that the actual toys.

 

Just kreons. LOL. Jk

 

yeah i was like woah lol, i did find a mcdonalds beast wars rhinox when i was like 7 at a grocery store on a counter just sitting there and it was the last one i needed so i just took it ,that might be more like finding it since it was sitting there and it was from mcdonalds tho

 

Never stole anything (that I can think of) in my life (though there is probably something hazy in there somewhere). What I found funny when I applied at Home Depot back in the day, one of the questions on the application was:

How many times per year do you believe it is ok to steal from your employer?:
a. 0
b. 1-2
c. 3-5
d. 6-9
e. 10+

Damn it, now come to think of it, I do have a couple Home Depot employee issue tape measures and blades that never got returned that were hanging off my back pocket when I got into my car after work.

Caught many a thief at Home Depot. The sad thing is, most of them were employees, or working with employees on it.

 

yeah ive seen that on applications before too haha

 

I had a question like that but it was closer to this, and yes the answer they provided were accurate to what I'm posting and I was on a computer with no way to add a choice.

How often do you feel it's ok to steal from your employer?

A. Once a week
B. Once a month
C. Couple of times a year
D. Every chance you get

I mean seriously? How do you answer a question like that?

But yes I have stolen stuff, I remember one time when I was like 8 opening a G.I.Joe and shoving it in my shoe cause my mom will check my pockets if she thinks she sees something in them.

Little while ago, I was at a comic shop and the dude has stuff thrown everywhere, at one point I picked up a G1 Cliffjumper that was sitting in some comics and started playing with it, I ended up stopping and talking with the owner for a while walking around the store. When I left, I walked out with Cliff and didn't think twice about it until I got home and emptied my pockets. It wasn't on purpose but I still did it. I haven't been back to that shop since but, I do plan on going back and letting him know and paying for it, since I planned on buying that day..

 

i found a fireburst optimus prime axe weapon on a barren wal-mart shelf once with no sign of the figure or its box around, so i took the weapon. does that count?

 

I remember once, when I was a kid and we still lived in Birmingham, very slyly sneaking a Deego from its packaging and hopping off out the shop with it. If I remember correctly, my justification at the time was that they were ripping people off charging £10 per trainbot, and it served them right to get ripped off themselves. Dear me  


I think I still have Deego too, probably in my micron draw. Not a bad little figure, looks nice with a random Blackjack micromaster I found lying about the attic.

 

Once back in 86, I was at a KB Toys looking through the insecticons. I didn't wind up buying anything, but my parents and I were half way through the mall before we realized I was still holding one of the deluxe Insecticons in my hand. Apparently just walked right out of the store with it. Even said goodbye to the clerk on the way out and everything. We went back and returned it, but still.

 

stealing is illegal? Illegal ain't nothin but a sick bird

 

I actually stole a lot of TFs and other toys between the ages of 9 and 11. It just seemed so easy, and I couldn't stop myself. I had a bin of toys that I kept hidden so my mom wouldn't wonder where I got all the stuff. I ended up getting busted at a Target with a Centurions figure up my coat sleeve one winter and the experience of getting talked to by Target security, a police officer and my mom terrified and embarrassed me enough to stop. Never did it again after that. I even fessed up to my mom about the bin of stolen toys.

 

OP, I know you aren't trying to start anything, but any thread asking people to share doing stuff like this is just lighting the fuse on a time-bomb. Nothing personal, but I'm gonna let it die before it begins.
