Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
YOU STUPID MORON! You don't steal things from the mall! you think that of you return it you'll get off the hook? dude, you could go to jail. If i were you i would change my name and move to a different state. good luck w/ that!

No stealing is for loosers and poor people. I am very rich soo I would never steal anything.

You'll be punished most horribly. You will be banned from the stores, have to do community service, etc. When your school has a field trip, you won't be allowed to go. Police officers will follow you everywhere, you will have no privacy at all. They will constantly be checking you for stolen items. My older cousin got caught shoplifting once, and she spent a year in prison sharing a jail cell with a well known muderer. I'm not making any of this up. My advice is to throw the stuff where nobody can find it. Maybe the town dump. Then be happy you didn't get caught. It is an addiction and even after people get caught they still do it. But if you truly don't want to do it again, if you have enough willpower, you will be able to make sure it doesn't happen again. Maybe avoid stores for a while. You'll probably feel guilty for a long time, but try writing in a diary, listening to angry music, do something religious (this can be something Jewish, something Christian, or just plain going out in a field and getting in touch with Mother Earth. It depends on what religion you like.) Whatever you do, don't tell anyone. You know it was wrong, you know you won't do it again. But everyone else will say, "She stole. She's evil. Let's ruin her life.", and then your life will be ruined. You didn't get caught stealing it, which means that Fate has given you a second chance. Take advantage of it. And yes, I have stolen before, but not anymore. No one ever found out, though, and I turned out fine.

She would NOT let you off the hook. Go back to the store, and quietly return the things while no one is looking. It will get that lump off your chest, and make u start to realize that it was wrong.
I hope I didn't get you mad hun!!!

Well...
I think what you should do is get the things together and take the $20 and return it to the store...pay for it and apologize. Thats really all you can do..

well stealing can end up really like in a disaster, because if you are over a certain age limit, you can get fined and go to court and maybe even jail. i read about someone whos friend who was 14 who got her 16 yr old friend into stealing things, and they got caught, and the 16 yr old enden up going to court and facing major consequences, but the 14 yr old didnt because she was a minor, (( but she still got in trouble just not as much)) and it was all because the 14 yr old got her hooked on stealing. so my advice to you.. is just dont steal anymore, but i wouldnt return it, because they will probably ask for a receit, ((which you dont have)) and then your could face other problems with that whole thing, but dont do it again

I'm not sure what you would do to alleviate your guilt, but if anything, I would suggest telling your mom.
It does not need to become a habit, so long as you have enough mental capacity to stop yourself from doing it. The repercussions for stealing can be harsh; it's theft, which you can be arrested and fined for. If you had gotten caught and the shopkeep chose to press charges, you could have gone to prison, paid up to $1000, AND been on probation for the next couple of years.
So is 20 bucks worth of crap worth it?

O.k theres only one true way to fix this. ok maybe two, you have to give the stuff back.you can either give the stuff back and pay for it, so the store clerk will like you more if you pay or you could just give the stuff back. tell your friend this too don't steal it's wrong and you now may be banned from that store for now or for ever

I think you know it wasn't right, hopefully the guilt will keep you from doing it again. That is why we feel guilt.
Most likely for a first offense you would be told bever to come back to the store again. It is hard to predict how the store owner would react, just don't do it again. And, if the friend doesn't feel the same just don't go shopping with her anymore.

I think you should just put the stuff back because even if you say sorry and tell the person, they will probabaly try to press charges. Just put it where you found it, and leave. I've stolen a few things from 7-11 in the third grade, I didnt feel sad or anything..but then again I was a selfish 8 year old kid. You can do what you want, and its good you want to make things better !

I say...just don't do it again. I've never stolen anything so I don't really know how that feels. You'll get in big trouble if you tell them..no matter how sorry you are you stole from the store and people go to jail/get fined for stuff like that. You could try to sneak it back, but I don't think you should bc someone might see you doing it...and then you'd get introuble. I know some girls in my school are on parole bc they've been caught stealing so much. Make a donation to a cancer charity or smthn for $20 and that might make you feel better
=) HoPe I HeLpEd!

lol when i was little, like 5 or 6, i stole something from a store... my mom somehow embarresed me enough to where i stopped... but he only thing you could do is return it... or make up a really good excuse that they would fall for when you do return it, just so that you wont get into so much trouble.
good luck, h.i.h.

Everyone has stolen something at least once, just say to yourself that it was a one time thing and it will never happen again. As for feeling less guilty, pretend you bought it, whatever you gotta do, but when it comes down to it, it's not something to feel too horrible about, at least you aren't out doing worse things like stealing cars. Just do what you said, don't make a habit out of it, because when I did, I got caught and had to pay a $325 fine and I can't go to that store for 2 years. Always think about the consequences. Hope I helped. -Angel

Well, you shouldn't have stolen in the first place, but I think you know that. I would return the stuff to the store WITH money for what you stole and apologize to them for stealing. They probably won't "turn you in" or anything as long as you return the items and pay for what you stole. Just, don't steal again. You're just asking to start a bad habit that has worse consequences than say, oh, biting your nails or something.

About two weeks ago i was in a situation where i went against my mothers wishes and gave a certain person a ride, because they said they needed to pick up there check. well they ended up stealing money from me and buying drugs with it. even though i didnt have any part of that, i was still wrong by disobeying my mother and i felt horrible for a few days. well i finally prayed to God and told him i wouldnt do it anymore and i talked to a freind of mine about it and i began to feel better and finally the whole problem went away.
hope that story helped you.

Well,
I stole things but i dont feel bad and you need to wake-up. stealing things is no big deal you're probably some goodie 2 shoes who is like perfect and thats why you caer so much I mean noone I know cares about when they steal its just another thing in your closet and stuff.Who gives a shit.
-HOPE I HELPED A LITTLE!

i have never stolen anything.but what i think you should do is fess up and take the consequences...thats whats gonna give you a great concious and its gonna be clear!!you dont have to return but i think you should like fess to your parents and see their reaction cause its a serious thing!!people say that they wont make a habbit out of it but it turns out to be so bad and so much more worse than it good be...so i think you should totally fess up!!
]
well i have stolen stuff before, but i was little.....but then i told my mom when igot a little older and i felt better and i promised myself that i would never ever do it again. As for your situation, u might want to try telling your parents because it will relieve a lot of stress....and maybe you should go back and buy something from the store worth the same amount, you might feel better. Just never steal again. its really bad. people who work at those stores need ot feed their families too and if people all steal, there wont be money to do that, and if you keep it up you will get cought, so dont do it anymore! Hope i helped!
