Kradek 02/07/24 5:34:08 PM #24:	Reminder: It's a moddable offense to admit to criminal activity on this site. Not sure if there's a differentiation between past and current usage. Such as "yeah, I stole some stuff 10 years ago" to "yeah I stole some stuff today". I've seen people talk about past drug usage, however my understanding is if you were like "I'm high on heroin right now", that would be moddable.

Dakimakura 02/07/24 5:51:30 PM #39:	Trumpo posted... Even in sports? A sports ball in an arena is considered equal property. Anyone potentially has the right to it at any given action sequence. Say the Quaterback throws a pass and the defenders intercepts the pass the returns it for a touchdown. Within the laws of the sport that isn't stealing the ball. Now lets say the defender intercepts the pass then runs home with it and play Nintendo. Then that is stealing the ball. The same could be said if a player chooses to hold on to the ball for a period of time they aren't eligible to have the ball or if they just take the ball and run around aimlessly with it delaying the game. These would be examples of stealing.

K181 02/07/24 6:07:53 PM #44:	Yes. Ive rescanned the same item multiple times and the dumb thing wouldnt recognize the bar code, so I just shrug and put it in my bag and scan the next item. Has happened a few times over the past decade. Not my responsibility as a consumer to get your stuff to work. And to be clear, I mean five or six or seven times and trying to flatten the thing and at multiple angles and distances, not a once and whatever thing. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. <cite>K181 posted [p:978713863] in Have you e...

The one I've had most luck with is putting some items at the bottom of the shopping bag(under the weird lining thing some bags have to help the bag keep shape) I can fit whole steaks under there and have it look fairly innocuous You can also just leave items in the bag but if any staff walks over and looks, as unlikely as that is, they'll see everything Place the bag on the other side of the checkout to where the scale is, go about things normally with a few cheap items you're happy to pay for to reduce any suspicion And only after paying do you bring the bag over to the other side with the scales and then load everything else into it --- Started from the bottom now we here <cite>haloiscoolisbak posted [p:978713887] in Have you e...

haloiscoolisbak 02/07/24 6:13:53 PM #47:	Oh and just shoving small things in your pocket from the shelf has a 99.9% success rate. Can't remember the last time I paid for paracetamol or antihistamines Cameras are meant to counter/dissuade this but after working in retail I learnt there's not one guy just staring at them 24/7 like the mall cop on the Simpsons who catches Bart lol, at least here in Australia. Its more that people will go back and check them if they notice something big missing or there's a major incident. Usually days later --- Started from the bottom now we here <cite>haloiscoolisbak posted [p:978713962] in Have you e...
