scottsdad Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I used to have a great aunt who made jam. We nicked sugar sachets from cafes, McDonalds and the like to pass to her. One night after a few beers a few mates and I picked up a Mini and carried it over to the next street, leaving it outside someone else's house. Surprisingly light. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Haven't bought a roll of sellotape in about 2 decades, do offices not notice the only time the stationery cupboard uses sellotape is December. Have a collection of pub glasses from far a wide, the furthest away being Vilnuis, and they not technically nicked, the hotel bar was 3 euros a pint, or 4 euros if taking the pint to your room. When leaving it was take two glasses to the bar to get 2 euros or, well in the bag and look very good on my shelf. Doing trips with my brothers they were unbelievable for stripping rooms for pens, paper, shampoo, toilet roll and anything. Best was the time after finding they could take no more one of them thought of the batteries from the remote. Laugh was ten minutes later him being annoyed as he couldn't change the TV channel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Like just about everyone else, an array of pint glasses in my teens and early twenties. They've all gone by the wayside after several house moves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Every hotel, bnb, air bnb and the like gets stripped of all tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, toilet roll, pens, pads etc. It's the rules. I then pour each individual sachet into the home coffee, tea and sugar jars. I do work for several chains of air bnb types, so routinely help myself to soaps and the like. And all bin bags go in the van as it saves on buying rubble sacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I must have about 40 screwfix pencils in the van. Used to just take them by the fistful. They've now switched to touch pad ordering screens. Toolstation pens are shite, they always leak red ink into my workwear pockets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have seen her wee face. It got the same reaction as the Kercher window washer I got her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 I once stole the letter g from the signage above a kitchen showroom. It has shutdown since then, it used to be called “Angus kitchens” Unsure if both events are related. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 My old room key (Yale) in student halls (not Yale), allowed me to enter a small Morris Minor car which used to be parked near Taymills in Dundee. I used to periodically borrow the car and go for a run around Dundee. Technically I wasnt stealing it as I put it back. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamenitza Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 An hotel in Norn Iron foolishly left the linen cupboard next to our room unlocked. Wife managed to cram 6 nice fluffy bath towels into our luggage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzydunlop Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 not me (honest officer) but mates nicked a big plastic mobile phone from outside a mobile phone shop back in the 90s.. It was metre high prop the shop left out on the street to entice folk in. Was funny at the time but they shat themselves when a report of the theft appeared in the local paper stating police were investigating and appealing for witnesses. This was around 1997. Walked into same mates flat in Cathcart for a few beers before the Cup Semi final last month. He lives in a very swanky penthouse type flat....however in the hallway theres the big f8cking plastic phone sitting there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Got lifted while high as a kite after being spotted on cctv helping myself to a publication that had been delivered to John Menzies outside their door. It was some teenybopper magazine with a free boyzone cd on the front (ask your gran, kids) which I thought would be hilarious to arrive home with. The police actually let me go after about an hour in their car. I’d like to think it was because of my eloquent legal arguments on the impossibility of stealing something which was free but I suspect they just got bored and thought I was subnormal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Ive told this story on here at least 3 times but pilfering the Match Day II ZX spectrum cassette from Comet on Christmas Eve only to find out that Santa had brought it the next day was a bit of a downer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
