When I was around 14 or 15 I shoplifted quite often. I would usually take a couple chocolate bars every time I went to the local Safeway, usually numerous times a week.
The guy at Safeway finally caught on after months of shoplifting and approached me as I was leaving the store. He told me if I walked out the door with the stuff that he would call the cops and my parents, so I emptied my pockets and left unscathed. Never shoplifted again.
To insinuate that my parents didn't properly raise me is absurd. They did a phenomenal job. Still didn't stop me from being a thieving d-bag at one point in my teenage years.
Anonymity is awesome. I don't think I've ever told anyone about this story before, not even my wife.
