I can't say that I hold the same high morals as some of you. At 22 I've still ganked a few things.
A friend of mine at work a while back had a "hookup" at a local department store. Anyway...they had a lame scheme that actually worked to get basically anything in the store at the cost of socks or a pair of boxer shorts.
My friend would gather up whatever he wanted, and place it on hold with his boy. Then he'd hand him a few tags from cheaper items like socks or something, and the guy would switch tags later, and my friend would go back and pay for the shit. So he'd be getting all kinds of Kenneth Cole, DKNY, and Polo shit for less than $20 or so.
He offered that discount to me one day, so I figured "Why not??" I couldn't find anything I liked in that store, so I wound up buying this Hugo Boss leather jacket at the cost of a pair of silk boxer shorts. The jacket was humongous (I'm 5'8" and skinny as shit, so a normal size is gigantic to me) so I took it to another store, and recieved store credit for it after

While in College, I used to steal cigarettes(for my friends 
) from the local Supermarket. Well, one day, they caught me and took me into the back room. You never want to go there. It was like extortion. They promised not to file any charges if I paid a $75 fine. To make matters almost worse, I was 18 and buying beer with a fake I.D., luckily the ID was perfect(thanks older brother). Needless to say, I paid the fine, no questions asked. Haven't stole anything since then and never will again. Those "back rooms" are real intimidating!

rhavis - interesting story!
I wouldn't do that. But on a more personal level, my father's stolen a lot from me, more than the cost of a few S2000's, and all he had to do was politic his friends in court and forge my signature. If that isn't stealing, I don't know what is.

I only stole the necessary stuff as a teenager.
Cigarettes, beer, and gas.
I am all reformed now. I won't even take a paperclip from the office.
But,
I was in a band in high school and the bass player lived 18 miles away in another town.
Everytime he came over for practice he showed up in a different car
He later got busted for stealing cars.
