I attempted to steal clothes from a mall today. I almost got to the exit and the lady chased me down saying she only received 2 of the 3 items back that I tried on…. I’ve stolen before and never got caught. In my head, before I did it, I told myself not to because the sales lady seemed too “on the ball” with everything and everyone trying on clothes… but I took my chances anyway as I was feeling cocky and I ended up getting caught. Feeling completely panicked, I had nothing else to do but walk the walk of shame and hand it back and make up some excuse, when I know she knows very well what my intentions were. I couldn’t hide it even if I wanted to.
It’s not like I couldn’t afford what I wanted, I just liked it, but not enough to buy it.
I know it’s wrong, this isn’t someone I want to be, and I should be thanking my lucky stars that security didn’t get involved.
I feel crummy about it, and I know I only feel this way because I got caught. I’d be walking on air if I got away with it…
Getting caught just made me feel childish and foolish and like everyone I know would be disappointed in me… which makes me feel ashamed of myself.
Lesson learned I suppose.
Thanks for listening.
