What's the last thing you've stolen?

I'll go first...........a chair, I didn't steal it technically, but I provided the truck to haul it away, your turn.

My now broken former laptop.

Yes. I don't know many people who could pull it off.

A laptop, I don't even want to know how you managed that one.
@hami1091: I think of other thieves as petty. It was new.

If it weren't my honor code wouldn't be able to do it. I've been on both sides. people have taken things from my dwelling. Data.

Data that coudln't easily be replaced.

I wouldn't take somebody else's precisely for the reason that we tend to store sentimental stuff on it. When the Truck got broken into in our former place I cringed I was like IS COONIE OK!?!?!?!?! my stuffed animal from childhood.

When I run across the kind of petty unorganized criminals and thieves I see all over the place who jack things I feel contempt.

Believe it or not it took sophistication but it was done relatively honorably and with considerateness to the mark which was a faceless mega corp.

I have STRONG Feelings about it either way. If somebody jacked my PC or laptop I'd want to kill them precisely because sentimental photos might have been on it or the like.
@hami1091: Basically the only way it's even remotely ethical to steal a laptop is if it's brand new and doesn't have any data on it except the preinstalled operating system.

@hiddeninahollowsound: This statement I will agree with, if you are going to steal something like a laptop, cell phone etc new is better than taking someone's info. I don't condone stealing, [i]but [/i] I can understand what you are saying there.
