Thievery

One of the major signs that you have a drug problem is when you steal in order to pay for your drug habit. Usually a junkie takes things from their friends or family because it's quick and easy...and they have no regard for anyone but themselves and getting their fix.

My girlfriend and I are not like that. I hope we never get to that point. Those type of addicts are unemployed and homeless. We pay our bills on time and each have a full time job. However, we dabble in shoplifting. Okay, not "dabble"...we steal on a regular basis.

We mainly take groceries because not paying for food lets us spend that money, of course, on junk. We probably wouldn't do it as much if it weren't so easy. You take actual food...stay away from alcohol or items in the pharmacy section. Those are the most heavily watched as bad thieves go for that shit. No punk thug wannabe or bored teenager is going to 5-finger discount a loaf of bread.

What you do is take those bags they sell that you can use instead of paper or plastic. Go to the grocery store during a really busy time, like 5 or 6 pm weekdays or in the afternoon on a weekend. You walk through the store and fill your green bags to a reasonable level. I usually do 1 or 2 bags...any more and you'll probably draw attention and have the employees wondering why you didn't grab a cart. When you're done, you casually work your way to the side of all the check-out lines and head to one of the entrances where there is a greeter. They don't usually check people's receipts as they leave, so you can just stroll on by. We've never been stopped.

If you do get asked for a receipt, just keep walking. They can't touch you or physically stop you from leaving. Even security guards can't lay a hand on you...only the police can. You may want to make sure there's no cop car around if you're truly paranoid.

This is just a blog telling you what we do, but it's not me encouraging you to commit a crime. Stealing is wrong...at least that's what the Bible says.
