As a child I was a bit of a thief, mostly from the supermarket. I stole, like, four ,kumquats or a candy bar, things I wanted to try that my mother wouldn't get for me. What makes this extra ridiculous is that I was outwardly a very goody-goody child; I had it impressed on me very strongly that as a Black kid I needed to be seen to be absolutely well behaved. For some reason, I interpreted this as "don't get caught."
I stopped doing this is my teens as I had enough pocket money to just buy little things.
(There's also my mother's cutlery and towel stealing ways, but that's another discussion.)
