The only thing I ever actually stole was when I was a kid in summer '88. It was in a Target. I desperately wanted a GI Joe catalog, ya know the ones that came packed inside every vehicle, but I had no interest in asking for a vehicle. So, I decided I was going to open up a GI Joe vehicle and take the catalog.
I was only 9 at the time, but I made sure nobody was in the aisle and kind of scoped out the main aisle to make sure nobody was coming from either direction. I then nervously went to a Joe box (don't remember for certain which vehicle it was, but I think it was either the Desert Fox or Conquest). I went over the plan in my head a good 5 or 6 times before I finally decided it was time to act! I attempted to do it once but right before I put my hand in the box some other kid walked down the aisle. I quickly stopped and played dumb like I was looking at the Joe vehicle intently. Once he moved on, I went back to work. I broke the tape, flipped that lid open and stuck my hand inside the box and grabbed the catalog! It was mine. I quickly stuffed the catalog into my pocket, closed up the Joe vehicle box and put it back into place and walked away. I remember thinking I was for sure going to get caught and was so paranoid that whole time until I walked out with my mom and got to our car...and then I knew I had done it and pulled it off. I felt so dirty. So filthy. So ashamed. So low. But then I was also so happy I actually had the '88 GI Joe catalog! But I felt bad knowing that some other kid was probably going to get that vehicle and not get the catalogue. I never stole anything in my life before or after that day. That's my confession! lol

Just Google anything around your area. Try "liquidation auction". Places buy store returns by the pallet and sell them off to resellers who piece them out. I found these two in North Carolina:
https://auction.triangleliquidators....tuesday-012423 https://m.facebook.com/2267755550206695/ Some just do flat price sales instead. I bought a $900 Marantz receiver for $4. All it needed was a new fuse. |

Not gonna lie, when Walmart first rolled out the self-checkouts in the 2000's, I "tested" it to see if I could drop a Star Wars Titanium in my bag at the last minute, and hit checkout before it registered. It worked, but I didn't want to get greedy and attempt it again.

Wish I was that badass and daring as a kid.
But I knew if I got caught I'd have a hand print on my ass visible for the next week. |

Yeah, I don't know what came over me because my dad would have done the same thing to me back then. I guess I just really HAD to have that 1988 Joe catalog! Hasbro had me in the palm of their hands...even back then! lol

I want to thank publicly to sbartek1974 for sending me two Joe figures for my daughter Zoe... Some of you must remember when I was posting from the hospital 🏥 back in November.
Now she is 2 months and a half and getting stronger by the day. She just got a fever for a day a half but now she is smiling again and on the right temperature! Thank you for my Joe bros in the Tank😃👍🙏
