things you nicked as a kid

Just saw a papergirl doing her rounds and was just reminiscing with the missus about the days I did a paper round in the Bromley area as a 13 year old, in those days my delivery used to clash with the postmans round and he used to leave his bike and bag at the top of the road sometimes. One day i noticed a box poking out the side and curiosity got the better of me, I legged it with this box full of excitement only to discover during my bus journey to school it was full of false teeth Smiley

    If this is a wind-up, I'm not going to bite.
    Oh what the hell...
    Did you sell them on Gumtree?
    Or swap them for some gummy bears?

    You're not a retrospective policeman are you?

    At the risk of being arrested, too many to mention but when I did get caught (age 12) it was for a book, a box of chocolates and a mini rubik's cube.

    When I lived in Charlton I nicked a tin of boot polish from the parade at the top of Victoria Way!

    One of the kids I went to school with in Crawley pinched the milkmans payment book & went round collecting all the monies
    About thirty of us from school got a caution from the police for accepting gifts off him bought with the proceeds!

    Amongst the usual I managed to nick a VHS of Back To The Future, which for some reason was in the box. It was quite impressive as there was a security guard and I didn't have a jacket on.

    Tennis bats, ended up doing it to order, it was a racket!

    Was only about 15, got one, and someone at school wanted to buy it off me, so I thought hang on... Did it about another 10 times, how was I never caught?!

    Please don't hate me!

    I opened up a few different accounts at a few corner shops in Woolwich with old ID to increase my video and music library. It was over 20 years ago, hopefully they're not reading this

    Had to laugh at this.......Now a'day's they  would probably get a commendation from the local business  scheme for ' enterprise', that must have taken some cheek!
    Nicking boot polish?..... that is a new one, the herberts at my school were often put into detention for NOT ever showing a brush to a pair of boots!
    The nearest thing I can get to is a lad in my class nicked a can of 'brasso' so he could clean the ink wells at Sherrington school, obviously a 'fettish' about that.
    My wife claims that her brother 'sold' soft porn magazines down at the Valley, which he nicked from the corner shop, and the police came around! in the mid 60s.......
    He later went on to be a school teacher, of course we have never let him forget about it?.......

    Ashamed to say I used to nick records from woolworths when I was about 13. Got so bad I was taking orders from classmates during the week to nick em on a saturday, sometimes up to 30 singles at a time. Done this for well over a year until common sense prevailed so quit before I got caught.

    My grandad used to get me and my younger brother (aged about 10 and 6) to buy his fags (wouldn't happen now). He would give us the money for 20 Senior Service and would say if you can nick them then you can keep the money, a worthwhile challenge to a couple of urchins I can tell you.
    Anyway there was a lovely old girl in our local shop, my brother would ask if his comic had come in yet (Whizzer and Chips, remember that), she would shuffle out the back of the shop to check and I would jump over the counter grab the fags, and jump back. She would come out and say its not in yet, we would depart with said fags in pocket. I would like to say this only happened once, but I cant, it was weekly!!! Oh the shame!
    I will burn in hell for this I know, but somehow I feel better having told someone ;o)

    GreenieJunior:- If you are reading this its another Greenie that has posted it!!!  Honest!! ;o)

    Oh god I forgot about that one!
    Someone told us that each milk bottle you took back you got a penny, so early one morning we targeted mavis's house who had 4 kids and there was always loads of bottles,
    there was I in the doorway, another mate under the window and another running them round the corner as we passed them down the line, unbeknown to us was the Policeman sitting on his bike across the road watching us.
    No sooner had the last bottle gone round the corner when the copper came over and whispered, "Ok lads, put 'em back"
    The bottles were then transferred back the same way they had been taken and we got our names and addresses taken and told never to do it again, and we never did!

    I once walked out of Woolies in Gillingham with a Wok. I didn't realise until halfway home when somebody asked me the time. Looked at my watch and realised i was carrying a Wok.
